Description
The Novo Nordisk Foundation supports promising, ambitious young researchers undertaking postdoctoral research abroad and returning to the Danish academic research environment. Fellowships combine two to three years at a university, hospital or other research institution abroad with up to one year at a research institution in Denmark.
The programme funds fundamental bioscience and basic biomedicine relevant to understanding the human organism or basic mechanisms underlying health and disease. Fields include molecular and cell biology, bioinformatics, biological modelling, enzymology, genetics, microbiology, pharmacology, experimental physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, biology and biostatistics. Research typically uses animal, cellular or subcellular models, or in silico approaches. Applications are assessed by the Foundation’s Committee on Bioscience and Basic Biomedicine.
