Danish insulin giant Novo Nordisk (NOVN: N) has made a 750 million Danish kroner ($130 million) investment in new laboratories at the company’s research and development campus. Situated in Malov in Denmark, the lab is expected to be ready for occupation in early 2016.

The Diabetes Research House will accommodate around 350 employees, and in the construction phase is expected to generate more than 1,000 jobs from outside the company.

Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, executive vice president and chief science officer of Novo Nordisk, said: "The new lab facility will provide an environment for cutting-edge diabetes research within biotechnology and protein chemistry. Here our researchers will be working closely together with leading scientists in Denmark and abroad on the discovery and development of new medicines for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes."
