Research infrastructures
A number of research cores support teaching and research activities at DTU Bioengineering and offer collaborative and scientific services to other DTU departments, other Danish universities, and private companies. Each core is managed by a scientist supported by technical staff.
DTU Bioimaging Core
Facilitates the analysis of cells by optical imaging tools: From advanced high-resolution 3D and 2D microscopy over colony analysis to single cell quantitation using flow cytometry and cell sorting.Offers self-service analysis by trained users or assisted analysis and provides imaging of your cells on a contract research basis.

The Protein Biophysics Core
Provides academic and industrial users access to a suite of state-of-the-art equipment for biophysical characterization of the key properties that matter for proteins in different scenarios, such as enzymes and antibodies. Properties that we are able to quantify include, but are not limited to, thermal, chemical, and colloidal stability of proteins and their binding affinity to other molecules or surfaces.
