The University of Copenhagen is within reach of becoming a world-leading plant science research centre. This is after the Faculty of Life Sciences\u2019 recent decision to invest DKK 200m, into a new facility.<\/p>\n
The new 7,000 square meter centre on Frederiksberg Campus \u2013 to be completed by 2015 \u2013 hopes to rank within the top three world centers for plant science research and education.<\/p>\n
Katherina Killander, a press officer for the Faculty of Life Sciences, explained that the cutting-edge facility would boost the current reputation of research at the university. <\/p>\n
\u00bbAlready, we have researchers and groups that are among the worlds best in plant science and biotechnology,\u00ab she said. \u00bbWe want to pool these research environments together.\u00ab<\/p>\n
With the new center, a large variety of projects can be expanded, including research on biofuels, food production, and medicine.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThere will be a lot of focus on new methods to scan thousands of plants for certain qualities, which was not the case before,\u00ab Killander said. \u00bbBefore you would have to scan one plant at a time to find certain qualities\u00ab <\/p>\n
