World-Class Danish Stem Cell Research

The Danish Council for Strategic Research has just awarded a grant of DKK 65 million (€8.7 million) for the establishment of the first Danish stem cell research centre. The centre will be headed by leading stem cell researcher Henrik Semb.

– Stem cell research is an area with great possibilities. I am therefore pleased that we, with a targeted public investment in stem cell research, can be a part of bringing Denmark into the first division. This grant means that there will also be a significant strengthening of research education benefiting both the public and private companies, says Science Minister Charlotte Sahl-Madsen.
