About us
 

Our goal is to contribute to an improvement in
cancer treatment.

 To achieve this goal we aim to create a fruitful, translational research environment where we develop tools for early detection and personalized cancer treatment.


The Sino-Danish Breast Cancer Research Centre was inaugurated in February 2009 based on a three-year grant from the Danish National Research Foundation and the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation. 

The Centre is located at the Faculty of Helath and Medical Sciences, Frederiksberg Campus, University of Copenhagen.

In July 2011 the Centre obtained a grant extension for the period 2012-2015.

The partners of the Centre are: Aarhus University, the University of Southern Denmark, the Technical University of Denmark together with the Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group and Beijing Genomics Institute, Shenzhen, China. 

With the prolongation three more partners have become partners of the Centre: Beijing Institute of Genomics (BIG), Beijing, the University of Copenhagen - Center for Protein Research, and the University of Copenhagen - Medicinal Chemistry.

The overall goal of the Centre is to solve some of the most urgent problems in modern treatment of breast cancer:  

  •  Personalized endocrine therapy
  •  Personalized chemotherapeutic treatment
We have ample experience in molecular mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer and use a wide range of molecular and cell biology methods. Moreover, we perform translational research by validating our potential biomarkers in well-defined clinical material.
