Research
From 2024 to 2030, ten Centers of Excellence in Estonian research are funded by the Estonian state, bringing together high-level research groups to conduct international cutting-edge research and develop and implement innovative ideas.
Estonian Genome Centre
Estonian Biocentre
Core Facility of Genomics
Estonian Biobank
Estonian Biobank comprises over 200,000 individuals, providing researchers with a unique dataset to analyse the impact of DNA on health, diseases, and treatment outcomes. With 20% of Estonia's adult population contributing, our biobank stands as a vital resource for cutting-edge medical science globally.
