About
Paula Kujala is a leading figure in prostate cancer research, with a focus on bridging the gap between molecular biology and diagnostic pathology. Her work centers on optimizing tissue preservation methods to enable high-fidelity integration of clinical, histomorphologic, and molecular data—a critical step for advancing precision oncology. In her highly cited 2017 study, Kujala demonstrated the feasibility of PAXgene fixation for prostate tissue, showing that this method preserves both morphological integrity and molecular analytes as effectively as fresh frozen tissue, while outperforming standard formalin fixation. This contribution has significant implications for biobanking and translational research, as it allows for more reliable genomic and proteomic analyses from routine surgical specimens. With over 20 citations, this work has become a foundational reference for researchers seeking to harmonize diagnostic workflows with molecular discovery. Kujala’s efforts are helping to unlock new insights into prostate cancer biology, ultimately paving the way for more accurate diagnostics and personalized treatment strategies.
