LEO Foundation Skin Immunology Research Center
The LEO Foundation Skin Immunology Research Center – called SIC in everyday speech – was established in 2019 in the Maersk Tower at the University of Copenhagen.
SIC aims to become a world-leading center for research and education in skin and skin diseases and will contribute to a better understanding and treatment of skin diseases for the benefit of the individual patient.
The center brings together leading researchers in skin, skin diseases and immunology and collaborates closely with Danish and international research environments and hospitals.
SIC is based on a grant from the LEO Foundation of DKK 400m over 10 years.
LEO Foundation Center for Cutaneous Drug Delivery
The LEO Foundation Center for Cutaneous Drug Delivery was established in 2017 at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Copenhagen.
The aim of the center is to contribute to integrating knowledge about skin as a barrier for drug absorption, on the one hand, and the properties of drugs and excipients in specific drug delivery systems, on the other.
Research in the center is based on a predominantly physicochemical approach into novel drug delivery systems, analytical tools and biological models.
The LEO Foundation Center for Cutaneous Drug Delivery is based on a grant from the LEO Foundation of DKK 40m over 10 years.
