Located at the Meilahti campus of the University of Helsinki, the Biomedicum Stem Cell Center (BSCC) core facility offers a comprehensive range of services related to human pluripotent stem cells. BSCC provides customized hiPSC derivation and gene editing services using the latest technologies on a fee-for-service basis. Our core facility is equipped with essential cell culture equipment, including laminar flow hoods, incubators, centrifuges, and microscopes.
