DK-OPENSCREEN is the national research infrastructure for chemical biology. In addition to the advanced compound library, located at DTU Chemistry - with room for 200,000 substances in total - DK-OPENSCREEN offers a wide range of screening facilities and highly specialized knowledge, for example on multi-resistant bacteria and phenotypic screening in cells.
The infrastructure is used by chemists and biologists from both industry and academia who wants to modulate biological systems or test the biological activity of certain molecules. Thus, DK-OPENSCREEN contributes with knowledge that can be used for early drug development, diagnostics, and medical research.
The easy access to screening facilities and compound samples is aimed at increasing technological and scientific development and strengthening Denmark's competitiveness within the Life Science sector.
In addition to DTU, the University of Copenhagen, Aalborg University and Aarhus University also constitute DK-OPENSCREEN. The infrastructure is supported financially from both DTU, the other universities, and the Ministry of Higher Education and Science.
