The research project is based on exceptionally broad and open cooperation. FinnGen brings together Finnish universities and research institutes, biobanks, wellbeing services counties, and international pharmaceutical companies. This open cooperation enables the development of new treatments.
The University of Turku and the wellbeing services county are also involved in the FinnGen research project. In Turku, several researchers use the genetic and health data collected by FinnGen in their research. In particular, cardiovascular registry and genetics studies with FinnGen data have led to several publications and international collaborations.
FinnGen’s entire dataset is available to all researchers in all Finnish universities, university hospitals, wellbeing services counties, and biobanks participating in the research project. Phenotypic and genotype data is available and can be analyzed on over 500,000 people in FinnGen’s secure research environment. Access to this extensive genetic dataset provides a significant advantage for Finnish research groups in applying for research funding. Contact an analytics support person for more information.
