Principal Medical Writer - LEO Pharma, Ballerup

LEO Pharma develops, manufactures, and markets pharmaceuticals within dermatology to patients in more than 100 countries globally. Historically, LEO Pharma owes its success over the last 100 years to LEO people with a strong passion for drug development, innovation, customer focus, integrity, and adaptability.

However, dermatology is changing. Enabled by science and technology, a new era in dermatology with completely new types of treatments is advancing rapidly. This will fundamentally change the lives of millions of people who do not have the right treatment options for their skin diseases today. LEO Pharma’s ambition is to be the key driver in this change, and the company has already taken giant leaps in strengthening their position at the forefront of medical dermatology
