The Genome Editing Core is a facility within Turku Bioscience that specializes in various applications of transgenic technology. The primary focus of the core unit is to offer facilities and training for viral vector-mediated transduction and provide services and training in non-virus-based gene editing. Our expertise ranges from transient virus-mediated transduction to generating stable cell lines and genome editing. Our Core offers various services for generating changes in the genome, including CRISPR-Cas9 editing, production of inducible expression systems, and shRNA interference using viral vectors.

As a part of the Biocenter Finland Genome Editing and Viral Gene Transfer infrastructure network, we aim to provide an accessible platform for genome editing technology and know-how within the Turku/Åbo bioscience community. We offer consultation on vector and project design and training on viral vector production and purification.

Our Core is constantly developing the provided services based on the feedback and needs of the scientific community. Please check out our current services and contact us – we are happy to help you!
