Samuli Rautava graduated from medical school in 1999 and has specialized in pediatics (2011) and neonatology (2013) at the University of Turku. He has completed a 2-year postdoctoral research fellowship at the Mucosal Immunology Laboratory at Harvard University & Massachusetts General Hospital and a 1-year clinical neonatology fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. He was appojnted docent/adjunct professor in experimental pediatrics in 2013. He currently works as clinical instructor in pediatrics at the University of Turku and as part-time (30%) neonatologist at the Turku University Hospital.
Dr. Rautava’s research is based on the
general hypothesis that early contact with microbes and particularly the
indigenous intestinal microbiota has a significant long-term impact on health
by modulating the risk of preterm delivery and the complications of prematurity
as well as the risk of chronic immunoinflammatory disease. The translational
research project consists of birth cohort register studies, utilization of
machine learning on big data, nested case-control studies as well as
experimental models and randomized clinical trials to establish causality.
