Tiivistelmä
Directors´ Preface

The mission of Biocenter Oulu during reporting period 2020-2023 has been the following:
Biocenter Oulu participates university-level funding applications and university science profiling activities, promotes and supports multidisciplinary and internationally significant research, crossfaculty research cooperation and researcher interactions, and develops and maintains cutting-edge infrastructure services, and develops doctoral education within the University of Oulu’s strategic focus area of Lifelong Health.

Biocenter Oulu was directing the profiling theme 3, “Fibrosis Diseasome”, that was later continued with profiling theme 6 “Fibrobesity”, where Biocenter is involved in the management of the profiling theme. Biocenter Oulu actively participates in the preparation of Profiling theme 8 proposal that is due in summer 2024. During the 2020-2023 term, Biocenter spearheaded a Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions COFUND Postdoctoral programme proposal, that received positive funding decision in summer 2023. The programme Data4Healthcare “From Big Data to New Science and Practical Solutions” includes funding for 25 three-year postdoctoral positions. The programme has opened its first 15 positions for applications that are under evaluation. In 2025, a further call for ten 3-year postdoctoral positions will be opened.

In Biocenter Oulu, University of Oulu´s strategic spearhead projects in 2020-2023 included 14 research projects selected based on international evaluation. In addition, strategic funding was directed to four emerging projects in 2019-2022. Unfortunately, the covid pandemia hit the world in 2020 and also restricted our research and other activities. Despite that, our spearhead projects have accomplished 592 peer reviewed publications, and 50 doctoral theses have already been finalized and more is expected in 2024. The results of these projects are presented in this periodic report.

During the period of 2020-2023 Biocenter Oulu research infrastructures received a significant funding from the Research Counsil of Finland, from EU and Finnish foundation to strengthen research infrastructure service for life sciences in Oulu. Biocenter Oulu has also actively participated in activities of European Strategy Forum on Research and Innovation (ESFRI) platform activities with European interests.

Fourteen new spearhead projects started in January 2024 for a 4-year period after a competitive call where 31 proposals were reviewed via international evaluation. Additionally, four new emerging projects have started for the period 2023-2026. These new spearhead and emerging projects will form the core of Biocenter Oulu´s research activities for the next period. Our research around the new strategic theme Human health and wellbeing will further broaden our possibilities for successful breakthroughs in the future.

On behalf of Biocenter Oulu, we wish to warmly thank all the researchers who have participated in the strategic projects for their excellent work in the funding period 2020-2023, and the core facility users and personnel for providing excellent services. In addition, we would like to express our congratulations to the whole research community in the Lifelong Health focus area for excellent achievements. We wish the best of success to the new Biocenter Oulu research projects 2024-2027 and Emerging projects 2023-2026 as well as to all other researchers working to advance human health and wellbeing.

Oulu, April 2024 Johannes Kettunen and Lauri Eklund
