The organisation - The University of Copenhagen is the largest institution of research and education in Denmark. The Christensen group, responsible for the teaching of and research in Chemistry at the University, maintains a wide breadth of experience in organic synthesis and the use of dendrimers, and has worked closely together with Dr Donald A Tomalia from NanoSynthons LLC for the past 5 years. At present, the group works on projects involving optical Near Infrared-based glucose sensors, innate fluorescence in dendrimers, the use of dendrimer-encapsulated metal nanoparticles for catalysis, synthesis of inhibitors for bacterial efflux pumps and synthesis of dendrimers themselves.

Associate Professor Jørn B. Christensen is a specialist in organic synthesis and dendrimers, having published work in areas ranging from organic superconductors over biosensors to dendrimers. Of two monographies on dendrimers that he has co-authored, the work entitled 'Dendrimers in Medicine and Biotechnology' (2006) is widely considered the introductory textbook to the biomedical applications of dendrimers.

Professor SM Moghimi is a Professor of Nanomedicine and the Head of the Nanomedicine Research Group at Copenhagen. He has pioneered research in design and surface engineering of nanoparticles and functionla nanosystems for parenteral site-specific targeting and imaging modalities as well as the molecular basis of nanomaterial cytotoxicity and adverse immunological reactions.
