Organisation: Afdeling
The Finsen Laboratory is a basic cancer research department located in the Copenhagen Biocenter. Our research is focused at identification and implementation of new cancer biomarkers, identification and characterization of novel targets for future cancer treatment and identification of molecular mechanisms underlying the behaviour of cancer stem cells as well as their normal counterparts.
We educate Master and Ph.D. students within molecular biology, bioinformatics and biochemistry in collaboration with The University of Copenhagen.
The distinct groups of the laboratory study different molecular aspects of cancer biology.
We focus at:
Our research takes advantage of our in house facilities and expertise which revolves around: protein chemistry, bioinformatics, histology, flow cytometry and a variety of omics technologies such as proteomics and genomics.
Much of our work is done in mammal cells, using mice as model organisms or analyzing patient material.
Our clinical collaborations are of significant importance to our work as well as our close collaboration with researchers at BRIC (Biotech Research & Innovation Centre) at the University of Copenhagen.
