Turku Bioscience Information

Turku Bioscience is an advanced core facility and research centre hosted jointly by University of Turku and Åbo Akademi University. The Centre was established in 1992 to facilitate research infrastructure services and scientific interactions across departments and within the two universities. This concept has proved to be highly efficient especially in optimizing the coordinated acquisition of cutting-edge instruments and providing technology services by open access principles. The Centre offers services to both academic and commercially-oriented research projects. Today, we have three major functions: 1. to offer technology and research services 2. to provide advanced training and education in technologies that relate to our core facilities 3. to host leading basic research that relates to our key technology and infrastructure areas Our aim is to provide complete packages of service expertise and know-how to provide both academic and corporate research groups the tools and means to shorten the runway from an initial discovery to the take-off of a success story. To this end, we aim to stay at the frontiers of new technologies and research and we are also actively facilitating interactions and joint projects between academia and industry. We very much welcome you to contact or visit the Centre if you have a research problem or if you want to access specific technologies or infrastructure services. We are always open to new ideas and are excited to discuss research projects or new technologies that you think would be important for the community. Stay tuned and stay in touch! We have the means to help you in your research and together we may be able to take your ideas to completely new horizons.
