Scientific Working Group

Tays Cancer center has a scientific working group that focuses on developing cancer research opportunities and activities in the organizations that form the Tays Cancer Center (Tampere University and Tampere University Hospital/Pirha).

One key part of the development work is also to enhance research cooperation between cancer researchers at the Tampere University and Tampere University Hospital/Pirha.
