FinnGen is Finland's largest medical research project, coordinated by the University of Helsinki, involving more than half a million Finns – over 280,000 of whom are women. The completed research data, with its comprehensive genetic and health information, opens up unique opportunities for research relevant to women's health. With FinnGen, the genetic background of many previously under-researched diseases, such as pregnancy complications, can now be investigated.
Even now, for example, the Finnish Institute for Molecular Medicine (FIMM) is utilizing the data provided by FinnGen to take women's health research to a new level.
Every donation makes a difference and helps our students and researchers find solutions to the big and small questions facing humanity. By donating to women's health research, you help us to build a new and more equitable foundation for personalized medicine.
Donations also enable us to make important new discoveries. More than 100 professors or other experts who work at the university are supported in whole or in part by donated funds. Every year, we distribute hundreds of thousands of euros to support our students and researchers from our endowments, in the form of scholarships and grants. Together with a community of more than 7 000 donors, we embody and promote the importance of research-based knowledge and solutions.
You can easily donate to research online or by bank transfer. Did you know that donations over €850 are tax-deductible in Finland?
