Dr. Kauppinen was born and educated in Kuopio, Finland. She obtained her
M.Sc. in Biotechnology (1998) and Ph.D. in Biotechnology and Molecular
Neuroscience (2001) from the University of Kuopio, Finland. She did her
postdoctoral training (2002-2006) at the University of California, San
Francisco, while earning a Docent degree in Neuroinflammation (2007) from
University of Kuopio, Finland. She continued in the Department of Neurology,
UCSF as an Adjunct Assistant Professor (2006-2012). Dr. Kauppinen joined the
Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba in July 2012. Currently she is
an associate professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, a
principle investigator in the Neuroscience Research Program at Kleysen
Institute for Advanced Medicine, Health Sciences Centre, and researcher in
Childrens Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba.
Dr. Kauppinens research laboratory investigates how microglial functions
are regulated and how to harness them to promote brain health and recovery
in acute (stroke, traumatic brain injury) and chronic (Alzheimers disease)
central nervous system disorders, brain tumour, and in neurodevelopmental
disturbances (fetal exposure to gestational diabetes).
Her research is funded by grants from Alzheimer Society of Canada (ASV),
Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), Canadian Institutes of Health
Research (CIHR), Childrens Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba
Foundation (CHRIM), Heart and Stroke Foundation Canada (HSFC), Manitoba
