About
Juha Kesseli is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of molecular biology and diagnostic pathology, with a primary focus on prostate cancer. His key contributions center on improving tissue preservation methods to enable high-fidelity integration of clinical, histomorphologic, and molecular data—a cornerstone for advancing cancer biology. In his highly cited 2017 study, Kesseli demonstrated the feasibility of PAXgene fixation for prostate tissue, comparing it directly with fresh frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) preparations. This work, which has garnered 20 citations, showed that PAXgene-fixed paraffin-embedded (PFPE) tissue can preserve both morphological detail and molecular integrity, offering a powerful alternative for research and diagnostics. By addressing a long-standing technical bottleneck, Kesseli’s research helps bridge the gap between routine surgical pathology and cutting-edge molecular analysis, enabling more accurate biomarker discovery and personalized treatment strategies. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers working at the interface of tissue biobanking, cancer genomics, and translational medicine.
