Rare disease isn’t so rare. Collectively they affect over 30 million people in Europe and around 350 million people across the globe. Although there are more than 7,000 different rare diseases, most of them share similar characteristics: they are often chronic, lifelong genetic conditions (72%) with childhood onset (70%) and no cure. That result in decreased quality of life and a reduced life expectancy. At the same time there is diagnostic delay, lack of coordination of care and poor patient access to treatment.

Novo Nordisk has for many years been pioneers in rare bleeding disorders (such as haemophilia), and rare endocrine disorders (such as growth hormone deficiency). We have leadership positions within our fields, and we keep expanding into more indications and new therapeutic areas. We currently have several ongoing Phase 1-4 trials within Haemophilia, Growth Disorders and Sickle Cell Disease areas, and are soon entering new indications within Rare Blood and Endocrine Disorders. In addition, we are responsible for the execution of the Novo Nordisk stem cell portfolio. Today we span over various technologies such as proteins, monoclonal antibodies, cells, and gene therapy as current platforms. Our trials have a strong patient focus which is ensured by actively engaging with patients, patient organisations, study nurses and medical experts in the clinical field. We employ innovative trial designs, with modern digital and decentralised ways to collect clinical data. Here you will get the opportunity to work on products entering human studies through to marketed products, in collaboration with colleagues in our affiliates worldwide.
