Two researchers from The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability figure on Labiotech.eu’s top 10 of European academics excelling in translating research into business. According to CEO Bernhard Palsson this acknowledgement gives motivation to work even harder on science-to-marked efforts.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation has granted almost 118 M DKK for the establishment of a fermentation plant at DTU Biosustain. The plant will make it possible to test so-called cell factories at greater scales and to optimize purification processes and thus accelerate the production of sustainable chemicals and medicine.
3 Scientific Directors from The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability appear – for the second year in a row – on the Thomson Reuters list of highly cited researchers.
Professor Bernhard Palsson received this year’s Novozymes Award within Biochemical and Chemical Engineering. As a young scientist, he was told that trying to compute biology was “professional suicide”. Luckily, this turned out not to be the case – quite the contrary.
On November 17, His Royal Highness Prince Joachim cut the ribbon to the new home of The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability – DTU Biosustain. The Prince was very interested in hearing about biotech and the center’s research. He even revealed his biology grade from school.
