Sami Blom MSc, PhD

Sami Blom graduated from the University of Turku in 2011, with a master's in biotechnology. Dr. Teijo Pellinen recruited him to FIMM thanks to a recommendation from Teijo’s former colleague. This introduction turned out to be quite a lucky shot and resulted in Sami starting his Ph.D. project under the supervision of Teijo Pellinen and Professor Olli Kallioniemi in 2012. The starting point of the thesis was the huge scientific need for a method that would combine the spatial resolution of standard immunohistochemistry while overcoming its most critical limitation, the capability to detect only one protein at a time.
