At present, DANDRITE is based partly at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (building 1874), where Director and core Group Leader Prof. Poul Nissen is based, and partly at the Department of Biomedicine (building 1116 and building 1182), where the other two core Group leaders Prof. Anders Nykjær and Prof. Poul Henning Jensen are based, well as DANDRITE's four research Group leaders Duda Kvitsiani, Keisuke Yonehara, Mark Denham, and Sadegh Nabavi. The departments are closely located within a few hundred meters of each other at Aarhus University.
With these locations DANDRITE is situated at the heart of the health research activities at Aarhus University, in surroundings that provide the perfect framework for development of the Institute. In the immediate vicinity of the Institute are the biomedical research activities at Aarhus University and state-of-the art animal facilities. Closely associated infrastructures seed the formation of a vibrant research environment and ensure a strong interdisciplinary, integral and translational capacity at the DANDRITE Institute.
