About
Welcome to Copenhagen Center for Glycomics (CCG); a Danish National Research Center devoted to the study of diseases caused by defects in the biosynthesis and structure of complex carbohydrates.
Copenhagen Center for Glycomics (CCG) was established in 2008 by Professor Henrik Clausen, and was appointed a Center of Excellence by the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF) in 2012. In 2017, DNRF granted funding for a second research period spanning from 2018-2021, which was extended to 2022. CCG is additionally supported by several other funding agencies such as the Lundbeck Foundation, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the European Research Council and the NEYE foundation.
CCG is part of Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
Around 50 scientists, students and technicians are presently working at CCG. Additionally, the center hosts visiting researchers from Denmark and abroad at any given time.
