Bioneer Corporation is the first Korean biotechnology company established in 1992. The company has developed state of art molecular biology products and technologies including oligonucleotides, thermostable polymerases, and instruments of gene manipulation (automatic nucleic acid extractor, thermal cycler, real-time QPCR instruments and DNA sequencer). From its inception, Bioneer has invested in the integration of recombinant DNA technology, fermentation, biochemistry and nucleic acid chemistry in addition to mechanics, photonics and electronics. The company is positioned to fully-integrate its capability to develop next generation technologies in the post-genome era through the invention of new biochemistry and instruments. Bioneer now runs two production and research facilities in Korea which are a total of 226,000 square feet. Equipped with proprietary 384 synthesizers, these facilities contain a full production line for oligonucleotide and siRNA synthesis. In addition to DNA manufacturing, Bioneer processes recombinant proteins which are fermented and purified on proprietary purification systems. Visit the site

SciLifeLab is a collaboration between four universities in Stockholm and Uppsala: Stockholm University, the Karolinska Institutet, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Uppsala University. The centre combines advanced technical know-how and state-of-the-art equipment with a broad knowledge in translational medicine and molecular bioscience. The vision is to make SciLifeLab a competitive centre for high-throughput biosciences with platforms in genomics, comparative genetics, proteomics, bioimaging and functional genomics as well as research communities (programs) in biology, medicine and environmental sciences. SciLifeLab will provide the technology needed for optimal usage of resources unique for Sweden and Scandinavia, among them clinical material in the form of biobanks and excellent medical records

IDT is the largest manufacturer of custom oligo products in the US today. We became the industry leader in this competitive field by maintaining the highest standards of quality, service, and technical know-how.

IDT manufactures the oligo using chemical DNA synthesis machines designed and built in-house. We've refined the process to the point where we can receive an order as late as 1:00pm and have the desired oligo in the researcher's hands the next morning. Our customers range from small university labs of only a few scientists to global pharmaceutical companies, and everything in between. Visit the site

UNF is an association for all students taking courses in nature science or technical courses at Uppsala Universitet. The purpose of the association is to give our members practical knowledge based on theoretical knowledge claimed through classes. The practicals we offer are through research practising, case-competitions, own expeeriment, or experiments that are done in collaboration with institutions at Uppsala Universtiet or other places in the world.
