Finnish Genome editing center (FINGEEC) is a young core unit devoted to provide genome editing services in different mammalian cell lines and analytical services for CRISPR/Cas9 edited cells for research purposes.
FinGEEC belongs to GoEditStem core service platform within the Helsinki Institute of Life Sciences (HiLIFE) at the University of Helsinki and is a member of Biocenter Finland Stem cells & Genome editing network.
FinGEEC is led by associate professor Topi Tervonen and services are provided by laboratory coordinator Bina Prajapati, MSc.
For inquiries of the present status of LSRI development, please contact the LSRI director.
Please fill in the following form and send to fingeec-support@helsinki.fi and we will contact you to discuss the project.
The research infrastructure is supported by the University of Helsinki (HiLIFE and Research Programs Unit) and Biocenter Finland.
The prices are for the University of Helsinki (UH) and Universities/Institutions affiliated with Biocenter Finland (BF) Network; for other academic and non-academic customers, please contact fingeec-support@helsinki.fi or topi.tervonen@helsinki.fi

Finnish Genome Editing Center (FinGEEC) should be mentioned in the acknowledgment in research publications containing data from CRISPR analytics and cell lines generated by FinGEEC. Below are the templates of sentences that can be used:
For Stable and CRISPR cell lines:
“The xx cell line/pool was generated by Finnish Genome Editing Center (FinGEEC), Research Program Unit at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, supported by HiLIFE and Biocenter Finland."
For analytical services including gRNA validation, surveyor's or TOPO assays:
"The xx of xx was performed by Finnish Genome Editing Center (FinGEEC), Research Program Unit at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, supported by HiLIFE and Biocenter Finland."
