About

Juha Kere is a distinguished geneticist whose research bridges the intricate worlds of genomics, transcriptomics, and human disease biology. A central figure in the international FANTOM5 consortium, Kere has made transformative contributions to our understanding of gene regulation by mapping transcription initiation events across the human and mouse genomes at single base-pair resolution. His landmark 2017 paper on FANTOM5 CAGE profiles, cited over 360 times, established a comprehensive atlas of promoter and enhancer activity across thousands of samples, enabling researchers to decode the regulatory logic of the genome. Beyond this flagship work, Kere’s research has profoundly impacted the genetics of complex diseases, particularly asthma, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disorders, where his team identified key susceptibility genes and pathways. His pioneering use of high-throughput sequencing and functional genomics has provided a blueprint for linking non-coding regulatory elements to disease mechanisms. With a career spanning decades and a publication record that consistently shapes the field, Juha Kere stands as a leading voice in molecular medicine, empowering a new generation of scientists to explore how our DNA’s regulatory code orchestrates health and disease.
