About FIMM
The Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland FIMM is an international research institute
focusing on building a bridge from discovery to medical applications. FIMM is part of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine, together with the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM, University of Oslo) and the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS, Umeå University). At the national level FIMM is a joint research institute of the University of Helsinki, the Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS), the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) and the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
The mission of FIMM is to advance new fundamental understanding of the molecular, cellular and etiological basis of human diseases. This understanding will lead to improved means of diagnostics and the treatment and prevention of common health problems. Finnish clinical and genetic-epidemiological materials will be available for these studies. The aim of FIMM is to merge strategic resources and research in the field of molecular medicine, genetics and epidemiology in Finland, and to develop into a high-profile international research institute in molecular medicine.
