It\u2019s our pleasure to announce that Juulia Jylh\u00e4v\u00e4 joins the Medical Data Science team in Finland.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”accent-color” animate=”yes” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Juulia<\/b> is a true scientist, <\/span>to her core<\/span>. She’s subject and matter focused, and likes to back-up her assertions with what science has to say. She says she\u2019s been described as very determined and rational\u2014good qualities for a scientist\u2014and very down-to-earth and upright.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Juulia\u2019s background is in molecular epidemiology, with expertise in aging-related diseases using cohort, register and biobank data. She obtained her MSc at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 and PhD at Tampere University. \u201cIn addition, I am a Docent in immunology at Tampere University and in epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden\u201d, she tells us. That\u2019s impressive.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Before joining MedEngine, Juulia worked as a research group leader in academia, which is something she still does part-time as there are a few ongoing projects.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

\u201c\u00a0I\u2019ve always been drawn to science, as it can give us objective answers about the state of things.<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Juulia says she\u2019s always been curious about how the human body works and how complex and multifactorial the determinants of human health are. \u201cSo, studying molecular biology and later epidemiology just felt like the right choice for me. I\u2019ve also always been drawn to science as it can give us objective answers about the state of things, often proving our assumptions wrong!\u201d, she exclaims.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]\n

\u201cAt MedEngine, Juulia\u2019s interest was piqued by the possibility to do science with real-life implications.<\/span>\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]What gets Juulia excited? It\u2019s finding a way to answer very complex research questions and conveying new knowledge on topics that have persistent knowledge gaps. \u201cI feel that as a scientist, I have an obligation to advocate for science and base our conceptions on research findings.<\/span> I\u2019ve also had the privilege to work with statisticians and clinicians who are among the leading experts in their fields, giving me a whole new perspective on many things\u201d, she sums.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At MedEngine, Juulia\u2019s interest was piqued by the possibility to do science with real-life implications: for example, improving treatment practices and overall finding solutions to address pressing health issues. \u201cBut also, no less, the enthusiastic atmosphere and great colleagues!\u201d, she adds with a smile.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]Outside of work Juulia likes to go to the gym or just walk in nature and enjoy the silence, whenever possible. As it\u2019s obvious by now, Juulia\u2019s keen on learning new things about how the world works, so she likes to follow science news\u2014in her own area of expertise, but also outside her own field.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]\n

\u201cI really like to listen to Finnish and Swedish melodic metal music.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]As pets are very liked in the MedEngine office, we have to ask if Juulia has any? \u201cNot at the moment, but I\u2019m definitely a dog person\u2014and so are my husband and son\u2014so let\u2019s see if we\u2019ll have one someday!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of music, what I really like is listening to Finnish and Swedish melodic metal music; I just find it absolutely beautiful and soothing, especially when life gets hectic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Beautiful!
