Academic Excellence & Experience

The strong imaging expertise of Turku universities is a great environment for studying Biomedical Imaging. Imaging is one of the strongholds of the two universities in Turku, Åbo Akademi University and the University of Turku. Both universities also maintain the Turku BioImaging, which is a broad-based, interdisciplinary science and infrastructure umbrella that unites bioimaging expertise in Turku and elsewhere in Finland. Turku is especially known for its PET Centre and the development of super-resolution microscopy.

Winner of the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Stefan Hell did his original discoveries on STED microscopy at the University of Turku. Turku is also a leader of the Euro-BioImaging infrastructure network which provides imaging services for European researchers.

Research facilities include a wide array of state-of-the-art imaging technologies ranging from atomic-level molecular and cellular imaging to whole animal imaging, clinical imaging (e.g. PET), and image analysis.

The Biomedical Imaging programme is very interdisciplinary with a unique atmosphere where people from different countries and educational backgrounds interact and co-operate. Students are motivated to join courses, workshops, and internship projects also elsewhere in Finland, in Europe, and all around the world. The programme has Erasmus+ exchange agreements with the University of Pecs in Hungary, L’Institut Supérieur de BioSciences in Paris, France and Université de Rouen Normandie in Rouen, France.

Biomedical Sciences At Turku Universities
