Welcome to MSI

Home of the VTT/MSI Center for Bioengineering.

At the Center for Bioengineering we aim to catalyze advances in biology by:

1. Engineering biochemical events in living cells
2. Synthesizing designer molecules
3. Studying cellular heterogeneity and signal transduction in single cells
4. Configuring quantitative analytical tools
