BEA - about us

BEA aims to be widely known and recognized as an infrastructure, where scientists from diverse fields and with diverse backgrounds know they can turn for advice and assistance in genomic technologies. The goal for BEA is to provide high quality and internationally competitive infrastructure, services and education in genomic technologies including associated data analysis. The strategy of BEA is to provide a broad repertoire of genomic technologies to support research projects thereby contributing to the success of those projects.

BEA operates as a core facility offering services with a strict "fee-for-service" principle. The core facility is funded by central grants from KI covering salaries and the overall principle is that customer fees cover costs for reagents, premises and operating investments. All projects at the core facility are placed in our internal queue without exception and handled with first come, first served policy. At present, the core facility is headed by Fredrik Fagerström Billai, who serves as operating manager as well as scientific director.
