About the center

The Center for Pharmaceutical Data Science Education is a close collaboration between the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). The goal of the center is to advance Danish education within pharmaceutical sciences through integration of data science.

The center is anchored at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology, UCPH.

To achieve the mission, the center will develop research-based education for the future workforce of ‘data and drugs’ bilinguals – spanning bachelor, master, PhD and life-long learning levels.

The center’s overall goals:

• Build a coherent center community around the new frontier field of pharmaceutical data science.
• Upgrade existing courses, design new courses, develop course material and train teachers.
• Contribute to teaching at bachelor, master, PhD and life-long learning levels.
• Establish national and international collaboration and networks and attract talented students and researchers.

The ambition is that the center will position Denmark at the forefront of pharmaceutical data science. With the center’s education, it will to tap into the huge potential opened by artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data.

A strong research backbone tightly integrated within the center will be instrumental for relevant and future-oriented education of the workforce needed by the Danish society.
