Meri Pelkonen
I am a joint PhD student working in the Ivaska Lab and the Elenius Lab, interested in cellular level functions and developing cancer therapies. I’ll focus more closely on the efficacy and mechanisms of action of ERBB targeting antibody-drug conjugates. I have acquired BSc and MSc in biology from the University of Turku, and have previously delved deeper into mechanisms behind cancer therapy resistance in the Kurppa Lab. A perfect working day consists of many cups of coffee, great colleagues and fascinating science!
