DTU is given several grants to house National basic research centres. The Danish National Research Foundation has facilitated the construction of a number of research environments recognised in Denmark and internationally as belonging to the 1st division within their fields.
DTU’s basic research centres are established in research areas where their efforts have been or are pioneering. This clearly supports our ambition which is to be at the cutting edge and to maintain openness and willingness to invest in new research areas in which the results are uncertain but promising.
Center for Biological Sequence Analysis (CBS) is a good example of this.
CBS was established in 1993 and has not only grown but has also continued improving ever since. This improvement can be seen, for example, in the number of publications among the most frequently quoted Danish scientific articles, articles in Nature, Science and other recognised journals and the number of people using the online bioinformatic tools developed and operated by CBS with great success.
