Biocenter Kuopio
Beskrivning av infrastrukturen
Biocenter Kuopio was founded in 2007 to set up a multidisciplinary research network between different actors in the fields of molecular medicine and related drug research and biotechnology. The principal aim of Biocenter Kuopio is to promote the maintenance, use and development of the infrastructures related to medical and scientific research at the university. Biocenter Kuopio comprises approximately 20 infrastructures or research groups that belong to two faculties at the University of Eastern Finland: the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Faculty of Science and Forestry. Biocenter Kuopio offers technology services as part of Biocenter Finland in the following areas: bioinformatics, light and electron microscopy, mammalian model organisms, biological imaging, metabolomics, single cell genomics, stem cells, structural biology, and viral gene transfers (national virus vector laboratory, NVVL). In addition, Biocenter Kuopio offers services for biomedical imaging (especially MRI and PET) and gene diagnostics.
