Facilities, equipment and support
The TYKS Foundation maintains a clinical research unit and provides facilities and equipment for researchers working in the unit’s premises.
The research unit called Tutkari has workspaces for 18 researchers. The foundation provides working facilities and equipment for those working in the premises of the unit. A doctor in training may not have an office at their workplace – Tutkari is a peaceful place to conduct research. Above all, it offers access to scientific and comradely support from both peer and more experienced researchers. Our goal is for Tutkari to be an intellectual base for young researchers.
Tutkari is located near TYKS at Sirkkalankatu 4. The entrance is at the end of the building.
The executive director is responsible for facility matters.
