معرفی
Katri Ruokamo-Korva serves as a Doctoral Researcher at the Research Unit of Biomedicine and Internal Medicine within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Oulu. Her work focuses on genetic epidemiology and the biological mechanisms of infectious diseases through computational analysis of large-scale population datasets, contributing to the university's biomedical research initiatives.
Her educational background includes a Master of Science in biochemistry and a Master of Health Sciences in epidemiology and biomedical data science. These qualifications underpin her interdisciplinary approach to complex disease research.
Her research spans Genetic Epidemiology, Systems Medicine, and Computational Medicine with emphasis on Multifactorial Diseases and Genomics. She integrates population genomics with epidemiological methods to investigate infectious disease pathways, advancing precision medicine frameworks through data-driven systems biology approaches. Her work particularly addresses how genetic variations interact with environmental factors in disease manifestation.
Her doctoral thesis operates within the InFlames ImmuDocs doctoral education pilot, an interdisciplinary initiative investigating inflammation and immune system dynamics. This program fosters collaboration across computational biology, clinical medicine, and public health research domains to address immune-mediated diseases through integrated data science methodologies.
