New cell therapy facility enters fight against chronic diseases
The Novo Nordisk Foundation Cellerator will fill a critical gap in the Danish cell therapy ecosystem, helping to translate breakthroughs in cell therapy research into real-world treatments for people with diseases such as chronic heart failure, Parkinson's, kidney disease, type 1 diabetes and several forms of cancer.

- "We've seen major advances in the laboratory in recent years, but many promising cell therapy candidates face difficulties reaching clinical trials, partly because we can't currently develop cell therapy products in large, consistent quantities here in Denmark.
- I'm thrilled to be heading an initiative that will change this and provide hope to people living with chronic diseases."
- "The Cellerator will provide our researchers and students with a unique opportunity to translate cell technologies into cell therapy treatments.
