The Finnish Biofoundry for synthetic biology and biomanufacturing (FIN-BioFoundry) brings together the scientific excellence and industry interface of VTT, Aalto University, University of Turku and Tampere University to develop cutting-edge, enabling solutions for industrial biotechnology. Key objectives of the FIN-BioFoundry are to provide a unique and enabling platform for cutting-edge science in synthetic biology and biomanufacturing research, enable high-level education and workforce training for research and bio-based industries, support an essential part of future circular bioeconomy development and national manufacturing resiliency, and form the Finnish node in the European IBISBA ESFRI infrastructure network dedicated to Industrial biotechnology.

FIN-BioFoundry platforms at Tampere University

As part of a newly funded infrastructure, several platforms will be developed over the coming years to support the engineering of microbial cell factories and their communities. These platforms will focus on microbial consortia engineering, accelerated in vivo engineering, and bioelectrosynthesis, aiming to enable sustainable biotechnological solutions for the circular economy.
