Twenty years ago, chronic myeloid leukaemia meant a death sentence, with all patients dying within five years of the diagnosis. However, a significant breakthrough made in cancer research in the 1990s changed everything, as researchers were successful in developing a targeted drug therapy for the disease. The next potential advancement in cancer treatment is based on activating the patient’s own immune defence system, says professor Satu Mustjoki. Getting there requires sufficient funding for research. #Researchmatters #Siksitiede
Carbon sinks slow down climate change but global warming can cause unpredictable changes in the way they function.

Finland is a small cultural and linguistic area. The core of high-quality university education is research conducted by the teaching staff, says professor @AnuKantola. @BIBUresearch @SocSciHelsinki #ResearchMatters #siksitiede https://t.co/BMWH5JZY1B
As the whole world is in the grips of change, research broadens perspectives based on one’s own personal experience and that of friends, helping people understand society better. – In addition to maintaining equal opportunities for citizens to take part in joint decision-making, the duty of research is to ensure high-quality education to students, says professor Anu Kantola. #Researchmatters #Siksitiede

The spread of bacteria resistant to antibiotics is a global problem. If the prevalence of this trait cannot be curbed, by 2050, bacteria resistant to antibiotics may kill more people than cancer. There is still time for research. According to researcher Marko Virta, more long-term research on antibiotic resistance should be conducted in Asia and Africa. That could help saving lives and achieving savings in patient care everywhere. #Researchmatters #Siksitiede
What do 17th century witch-hunts and slander on social media have in common? ”In the 17th century, smart people descended to persecuting others just like people do today on social media. They believed things that couldn’t possibly be true. Mass hysteria led to persecution,” says historian Mirkka Lappalainen. Research makes it possible to identify recurring mechanisms, such as miscalculations to which humans have succumbed throughout the centuries. The value of academic historical research lies in the fact that educated scholars know the importance of a critical approach. #Researchmatters #Siksitiede
