Jussi Posti is Associate Professor of Neurosurgery (tenure track, phase 2/2, University of Turku) and Adjunct Professor of Neurotraumatology (University of Helsinki).
Jussi works as Head of the Department of Neurosurgery and Director of the Turku Brain Injury Center at Turku University Hospital, Turku Finland. Jussi is a consultant neurosurgeon and the physician in charge of traumatic brain injury care at Turku University Hospital, Finland. His surgical practice mainly focuses on skull base tumours that require intraoperative monitoring.
Jussi is the leader of the Turku Traumatic Brain Injury Research Group.
My main research interests are biomarkers in diagnostics of acute phase, treatment effects, and outcome of traumatic brain injury, biomaterials in cranial reconstruction and neuro-oncology.
