| Dansk version |
Steno Diabetes Center, which is owned by Novo Nordisk A/S, is today opening a new research centre under the name of Steno Health Promotion Center. The centre will focus on patient education, prevention and health promotion in Denmark as well as in the rest of the world.
“The ambition is to develop a national and international power centre in interdisciplinary cooperation with key institutions and to make the centre’s research user-oriented,” says Bjarne Bruun Jensen, manager of Steno Health Promotion Center.
During 2010 and 2011 the centre will initiate a number of research projects to generate new knowledge and new methods within four project areas. Some of the projects will focus on the prevention of diabetes in the workplace and health promotion in schools.
“The fact that the new centre will do research in both prevention and patient education while at the same time being able to study the results in clinical practice – that is fantastic. You don’t see that in many other places,” says Lise Kingo, executive vice president of Novo Nordisk.
By the end of 2010 the centre will have 15–20 employees.
