معرفی
Roles and Affiliations: Professor at the University of Helsinki, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Veterinary Biosciences. Group Leader of the Synaptic Plasticity and Neuronal Synchronization research group. Supervisor for doctoral programs in Integrative Life Science, Clinical Veterinary Medicine, and Brain & Mind.
Research Interests: Tomi Taira's research focuses on neurosciences, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal network development. His work explores mechanisms underlying synaptic maturation, kainate receptor function, and the impact of developmental processes like early life stress on neural circuits. He also contributes to translational research through initiatives like Helsinki One Health, which integrates veterinary, human, and environmental health research.
Grants and Collaborations: Principal investigator on projects funded by the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation and the Academy of Finland. Collaborates internationally on studies involving neuronal synchronization, GABAergic transmission, and antidepressant mechanisms.
Labs and Teams: Leads the Synaptic Plasticity and Neuronal Synchronization group, focusing on experimental and computational approaches to understand network dynamics in health and disease.
