What is Finnish Red Cross known for in research?

The fields where it stands highest, over all time, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.

Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Finnish Red Cross sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).

Which fields of science does Finnish Red Cross work in?

In 2022-now, 55% of research at Finnish Red Cross is in Health Sciences, 31% in Life Sciences. Its largest fields are Medicine (53%), Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (18%), Immunology and Microbiology (11%). It does 2.1× the world's share of Health Sciences.
