Hanna Ruhanen

Hanna Ruhanen is a researcher affiliated with the Functional Lipidomics Group at the University of Helsinki, specializing in lipidomics and its intersections with genetics, physiology, and environmental biology. She contributes to advanced research on lipid profiles in diverse contexts, including human disease and marine ecosystems.

Research Interests:

• Lipidomics and proteomics of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
• Genetic and environmental influences on lipid metabolism
• Ecological lipid studies in marine organisms

Recent Publications span lipid profiling in systemic lupus erythematosus, menopause-related cardiovascular changes, and dietary variability in copepods, reflecting her interdisciplinary focus on lipid dynamics across biological systems.

Labs & Teams: She is a key operator in the Helsinki University Lipidomics Unit, collaborating on functional omics projects and ecological lipidomics.
