The funds behind CPDSE: Foundation support for Pharmaceutical Data Science Education

The Center for Pharmaceutical Data Science Education (CPDSE) is supported by generous funding from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the LEO Foundation, and the Lundbeck Foundation. 

This support enables CPDSE to develop and deliver high-quality education and training in pharmaceutical data science, strengthening skills in data-driven methods across the life sciences. Through close collaboration with academic partners and engagement with industry, CPDSE helps connect students and researchers with relevant tools, datasets, and best practices for working with complex biomedical and pharmaceutical data. The funding also supports shared activities – such as courses, workshops, and community initiatives – that promote reproducibility, responsible data use, and interdisciplinary exchange. 

Together, these efforts contribute to building capacity for data science in drug discovery and development, and to creating a strong educational foundation for current and future professionals.
