About me

  • I am a biochemist by training, now focusing on precision medicine research and implementation. My motivation lies in my deep wish to safely implement our technological advances to benefit patients.Päivi Östling has more than 10 years of research experience in the field of precision cancer medicine (PCM) research. As of 2016, she has been responsible for establishing a functional precision medicin (fPM) platform at SciLifeLab through the Olli Kallioniemi research group where she also acts as a co-principal investigator. The groups research focuses on individualized drug profiling including multi-omics in acute myeloid leukemia, ovarian and bladder cancer as well as pediatric tumors. She is active within the PCM program of KI and since June 2021, she is one of the Scientific Leads of Precision Medicine at SciLifeLab. 2023 National infrastructure to support clinical trials in precision medicine with cutting edge technologies, Vetenskapsrådet2022 Testing and Experimenting Facility Health (TEF-Health) DIGITAL-2022-CLOUD-AI-022022 Building a sustainable European Innovation platform to enhance the repurposing of medicine for all - Remedi4all Horizon Europe, Research and Innovation Actions.

Research

  • My research is on precision cancer medicine in bladder cancer. The aim is to link spatial tissue maps with drug sensitivity and molecular profiles to understand treatment responses.
