Abstract:
A 34 MDKK grant will be used to establish a Center for biomembranes in nanomedicine at the University of Copenhagen.
Center for nanomedicine in Copenhagen
Denmark | Posted on December 16th, 2009
The grant comes from the Lundbeck foundation. Work at the centre will be focused on the basic biological processes that occur in the cell membrane, and that makes it possible for cells to communicate by transferring chemical signals. The researchers hope that the results will contribute to new ways to treat diseases of the brain, bacterial infections, biological nanosensors for diagnostics, and drug delivery systems for targeting cancer cells.
