CPR

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research is currently being established at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, to promote basic and applied discovery research on human proteins of medical relevance. The establishment of the center announced in April 2007 has been made possible by a donation of 600 million DKK (~113 MUSD) from the Novo Nordisk Foundation and through significant contributions from the University of Copenhagen for the renovation of the Center laboratories.

The Center comprises a wide range of expertise and skills within its research departments, with activities in the areas of disease systems biology, proteomics, high throughput protein production and characterization, chemical biology, disease biology, and protein therapeutics. The Center will also contribute to the progress of translational research within medicine and provide fundamental insights which can be used to promote drug discovery and development.

For more detailed descriptions of the plans regarding the activities at the research center, please see the description of our research departments.

Currently, ~45 members have been recruited (out of an expected ~150, at full strength). Two out of three floors of laboratory and office space (in total 3,600 m2) have been fully renovated, and the third floor will be ready for use in August 2009.
