Research Studies at FINBB Member Biobanks
Arctic Biobank studies
The Northern Finland Birth Cohort (NFBC) studies is an epidemiological and longitudinal research program which aims to promote health and well-being of the population. The prospective data collected from Northern Finland forms a unique resource, allowing to study the emergence of diseases which can be based on genetic, biological, social or behavioral risk factors. Studies utilizing the Northern Finland Birth Cohorts (NFBCs) have generated over a thousand scientific publications.

FinnGen publications
FinnGen is a nationwide biobank research project that utilizes samples from almost all Finnish biobanks for genetic analysis. FinnGen combines genomic information from 500,000 Finns (by 2023) with digital healthcare data from national registers. The goal is to identify genotype-phenotype correlations in the Finnish founder population to deepen our understanding about the origins of diseases. You can find all the published and preprint scientific publications utilizing FinnGen data on their website.
