Genes are a significant factor, but lifestyle and the environment also affect biological age. Researchers at Tampere University are developing an AIbased tool to help healthcare professionals identify risk groups and tailor treatments more precisely.Tue, 05 Nov 2024 13:25:07 +000061105 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/professor-juho-kanniainens-group-develops-leading-machine-learning-modelsFinancial markets are one of the most demanding arenas for prediction: they are highly volatile, events unfold in nanoseconds, and real money is at stake. Juho Kanniainen, a Professor of Computing Sciences at Tampere Universitys Data Science Research Centre, develops new methods to address these challenges. His research sits at the intersection of financial market data, machine learning and timeseries modelling.

A multidisciplinary research project at Tampere University shows that the design of buildings, neighbourhoods and public spaces plays a crucial role in shaping our social wellbeing. The project has recently received international recognition for its innovative approach.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 11:43:37 +000072894 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/scientists-discover-hidden-driver-urban-air-pollutionResearchers from Tampere University and the University of Helsinki have identified an unexpected chemical process that may influence the formation of air pollution particles in urban environments. The study shows that nitric oxide NO – a pollutant primarily emitted by vehicles, power plants and other combustion sources – can promote the formation of aerosol particles, challenging a longstanding assumption in atmospheric science.Mon, 22 Jun 2026 11:07:08 +000072842 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/design-disassembly-approach-holds-promise-enhancing-economic-and-environmentalA computational case study conducted at Tampere University has found that the reuse of concrete structures is both practical and costeffective over the long term when standardised components of uniform length are used. The findings indicate that a concreteframed block of flats designed for disassembly and reuse has a smaller carbon footprint over its entire life cycle than a timberframed block of flats built according to current construction practices.

Or maybe that is exactly why such research is needed. Kivistös research group is part of a new Research Council of Finland Centre of Excellence which is renewing philosophical approaches to understanding suffering. Recently appointed as an Academy Professor for a sixyear term, Kivistö studies scholarly texts as literature. In early modern universities, such texts constituted what we now call scientific knowledge.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 07:28:33 +000072746 https://tuni.fi/en/tamk/news-and-events/research-business-business-finland-grants-eur1-3-million-two-tamk-projectsTwo projects have received Research to Business funding to support the commercialisation of their research results.

A new international study has identified a strong link between the genetic susceptibility to ICP and the bodys ability to regulate bile acids and metabolise lipids and cholesterol. The findings open up new avenues for research into maternal health and pregnancyrelated liver diseases.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 10:49:48 +000072732 https://tuni.fi/en/tamk/news-and-events/producer-center-living-lab-project-has-built-permanent-producer-networkThe twoyear Producer Center Living Lab project has strengthened producer expertise in creative industries and built a nationwide producer network. The project has secured sustainable employment for producers by linking producer expertise more closely to regional development. The impacts of the project, which concludes in June, will live on as permanent structures, networks, and tools.Tue, 16 Jun 2026 10:08:13 +000072744 https://tuni.fi/en/tau/news-and-events/tampere-set-welcome-record-number-educational-researchers-ecer-2026The European Conference on Educational Research ECER is the largest educational research conference in Europe.
