Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) is a research center at the University of Copenhagen. It was established in 2010 with a DKK 885 million (€119M) grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, which later awarded an additional DKK 700 million (€94M). The Center's vision is to pioneer groundbreaking research towards better cardiometabolic health, and its mission is to lead collaborative interdisciplinary research from single-cell genomics to whole-body systems, transforming the basic understanding of cardiometabolic health and accelerating its translation into prevention and treatment strategies. It applies a multidisciplinary approach combining research in genetics, physiology and pharmacology, and carries out outreach activities through a collaboration with the University's Medical Museion.
