The population in Eastern Finland in highly homogenous due to founder effect, geographic and historical barriers and low migration. This makes our biobank’s sample collection unique. The Biobank of Eastern Finland is a hospital biobank located at the Kuopio University Hospital. Our biobank is owned by the North Savo Hospital District, the South Savo Social and Health Care Authority, Siun Sote – the Joint Municipal Authority for North Karelia Social and Health Services, the Eastern Savo Hospital District, and the University of Eastern Finland. We are open to new collaboration projects. If you are interested to cooperate with us please contact us!
