Centers of Excellences Projects at FIMM
- CoECDG Center of Excellence in Complex Disease Genetics
Professor Jaakko Kaprio is the Director of the Center of Excellence in Complex Disease Genetics.
The CoE aims to dissect genetic background of some common diseases and their trait components by integrating special expertise and sample resources accessible to center investigators. The CoECDG combines diverse expertise of eight group leaders across three academic institutes in Finland and one in Sweden: University of Helsinki, THL, Folkhälsan and Karolinska Institutet
- CoETGSB Center of Excellence in Translational Genome-Scale Biology
Professor Olli Kallioniemi is the Director of the Finnish Center of Excellence in Translational Genome-Scale Biology.
The CoE develops and applies high-throughput technologies to discover genes and signalling events that are responsible for cancer initiation, progression and for key cancer cell phenotypes. It translates the discoveries towards clinical and industrial applications.
