Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology Clare Strachan and Professor of Industrial Pharmacy Anne Juppo of the University of Helsinki have each found a shared research interest with the pharmaceutical industry: Strachan with Orion Pharma and Juppo with Bayer.
The Finnish Research Impact Foundation’s Tandem Industry Academia Professor funding enables collaboration between University of Helsinki researchers and pharmaceutical companies, giving professors the chance to conduct research together with companies and in their facilities. The funding is granted for one year, but can be used over a maximum period of three years.
