The Genome Center of Eastern Finland was established in 2008 to lead the genetic research in human health and diseases at the University of Eastern Finland (UEF). This has significantly contributed to UEF's current research excellence in human genetics and biomedical genomics. This plan brings the Genome Center services up to date by strengthening our sequencing capacity, automating sample workflow, broadening and streamlining our services, and developing our marketing strategy. These actions support green transition and promote digital transformation in personalized medicine. The renewal of our services will promote regional development through increased innovation potential and collaborations with e.g. Kuopio University Hospital (KUH), Biobank of the Eastern Finland, and local businesses. We believe that these actions will reinforce the UEF Genome Center to unleash our full potential in research excellence, clinical innovations, competence-based growth, and societal impact.
