He received his M.Sc. in Biotechnology from University of Turku,
Finland (1999) with an emphasis on recombinant protein production. His
research career continued in the Department of Biochemistry and Food
chemistry (1999-2000) and later in the Institute of Dentistry
(2000-2009), University of Turku, where he completed his Ph.D. on
bioactive macroporous scaffolds for bone engineering in 2008. In
addition, Meretoja has acted as a part time consultant to Vivoxid Ltd,
