Marginum

We’re thrilled to announce that Antti-Pekka Elomaa and Sami Puustinen from the Marginum team have been selected by Mediuutiset Journal as two of the 100 most important influencers in Finnish healthcare! 💡 Elomaa Antti-Pekka MD PhD was awarded in the ‘Health Technology’ category with the following citation: “Neurosurgeon, Adjunct Professor. Responsible for research at the University of Eastern Finland and KUH, developing a hyperspectral imaging-based tool for tissue classification. The microneurosurgical HSI system is the first in Finland and one of the first in Europe. It can identify tissues during brain tumour and cerebrovascular surgery, thus avoiding nearby delicate structures whose damage can lead to paralysis, for example.” Sami Puustinen MD PhD was awarded in the ‘Dissertations of the Year’ category with the following citation: “The doctoral dissertation, built from high-quality publications in a multi-campus collaboration, was interdisciplinary (medicine, computer science, physics) and involved international students (UEF COSI and IMPiT master's programmes); it dealt with the development and application of a theoretical model based on artificial intelligence and optical research equipment during microsurgical treatment. In addition to its scientific and clinical relevance, which has been met with great interest, the work contributes to a growing market in medical photonics.” Congratulations Antti-Pekka & Sami! 🎉

Thank you Slush for the rare opportunity to present Marginum at the Slush 2023 Startup Studio. Our CEO Samu Lehtonen joined the stage to discuss how Marginum’s tissue monitoring solution enables surgeons to perform more accurate and targeted cancer resections, reducing the likelihood of tumour recurrence and the need for reoperations. 🎯 See you at Slush next year! ⚡️ © Petri Anttila
