On Friday October 7 at 9.15-10 in F101 a Kontinkangas Research Seminar by
Professor Pirjo Nuutila from Turku PET Centre, Department of Endocrinology, Turku University Hospital and University of Turku. The title of her presentation is “Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) in adult humans – what is learned since 2009?”
Information about prof. Pirjo Nuutila´s research:
In 2009 the work of professor Pirjo Nuutila and associate professor Kirsi Virtanen resulted
discovery of brown fat and its role in metabolism. The article published on this discovery is
