On Monday the 6th of November, Director of ATLAS, Susanne Mandrup, received much credit for her hard work to establish the new Center of Excellence, Center for Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity.

Several representatives of the university administration, including the Vice Chancellor, Henrik Dam, as well as the Chair of the Danish National Research Foundation, Liselotte Højgaard, spoke of the great effort leading up to the selection of ATLAS as Center of Excellence.
Susanne Mandrup spoke of her great expectations for the center and of looking forward to leading the way and providing a space in which young researchers can join forces in the search for new knowledge on single cell level.
