Novo Nordisk has invested $100 million in expanding its research center in Beijing, China, to 12,000 m2 (129,167 ft2).

The extra space will accommodate future growth in protein technology, biology, and pharmacology research activities, fulfilling the company’s key strategic objective to develop the full range of protein research capabilities in China. The expansion will also encourage stronger contributions from the science team in China, which currently consists of 130 scientists and is expected to increase to 200 at the new site.

The Beijing site has already contributed significantly to Novo Nordisk’s R&D portfolio in various biopharmaceutical disease areas, including diabetes.
