Cutting edge infrastructures

Institute of Biotechnology has pioneered the development of Finland’s life science research infrastructures. The infrastructures are organized as shared core facilities, offering services to the academic community and industry.

The institute houses core facilities for sequencing & genomics, proteomics, biological imaging (both light and electron microscopy), structural biology (cryo-EM and protein crystallization), flow cytometry and bioinformatics. The core facilities are part of both the HiLIFE life science research infrastructure (LSRI) platforms and the Biocenter Finland platforms, which operate at a national level, as well as ESFRIs that operate at an international level.
