We are proud to introduce MedEngine’s most recent addition, Joni Turunen. Joni holds both an MD and PhD and will serve as our external medical advisor, providing us with a physician’s perspective whenever needed.
Joni received his PhD from the University of Helsinki, where his research focused on the molecular genetics of schizophrenia. He is currently specializing in ophthalmology at the Helsinki University Hospital, while also working as a physician at Diacor and Silmäasema. In addition, Joni runs his own research group at the Folkhälsan research center, where his team is studying the genetics of ophthalmologic diseases.
