What if finding a life-saving cancer drug meant searching through more molecules than there are atoms in the universe? That is exactly the challenge researchers face. There are approximately 10⁶⁰ possible molecules that could exist based on the rules of chemistry alone. Traditionally, finding the right drug candidate meant relying on guesswork or accidental discoveries — an incredibly slow and expensive process. But today, we use computers to screen tens of millions of compounds against specific biological targets, narrowing the search down to a handful of the most promising candidates. These are then tested in the lab — first to see if they bind to the target protein, and then on living cancer cells. In this video, Pekka Roivas explains how combining computational screening with laboratory experiments is building a faster, smarter and more reproducible workflow for cancer drug discovery. The next breakthrough cancer drug could already exist somewhere in that ocean of 10⁶⁰ molecules — and we are building the tools to find it. ───────────────────────────── 🔬 Research in 120 Seconds A video series showcasing cutting-edge research from the Turku Bioscience Centre ───────────────────────────── #CancerResearch #DrugDiscovery #Research #Science #Molecules #Cancer #Bioscience #ComputationalChemistry #University #Research120Seconds

An Anniversary Symposium was arranged October 2, 2019, to acclaim the achievements of Turku Bioscience. The symposium was a great success and was a wonderful event to link the past and the future. The event was attended by current and previous researchers at the center as well as collaborators, partners and customers. We would like to extend our gratitude to all and everyone involved in this important celebration of the center’s success. - Video shows the release of balloons to which all participants had attached their wishes for the success of the Turku Bioscience for the forthcoming years.

Ainutlaatuisessa kurkistuksessa biolääketieteen tutkimuksen arkeen selviää, miten ja miksi seeprakalasta on tullut syöpätutkimuksessa tärkeä eläinmalli. Suorassa lähetyksessä näytetään reaaliaikaisesti, kuinka syöpäsolut käyttäytyvät elävässä organismissa ja miten tutkijat seuraavat niitä mikroskopian avulla. Yleisö voi esittää viestein kysymyksiä koko lähetyksen ajan.
