FINStruct is the Structural Biology Platform of Biocenter Finland and coordinates all research infrastructure requirements of the national structural biology network. It provides integrated structural biology services and training to support research and innovation in life sciences. FINStruct services are provided by core facilities at five universities (Helsinki, Oulu, Eastern Finland, Turku, and Åbo Academic), and coordinated by the University of Helsinki. Instruct-ERIC Centre Finland is a national node of Instruct-ERIC, one of the operators at the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).
