Job Details
About the Department
Novo Nordisk, a global health care company, is committed to
discovering and developing innovative medicines to help people
living with diabetes lead longer, healthier lives. To support this,
Novo Nordisk is conducting research on stem cell therapy. Stem cell
research raises hopes for improved treatment of Type 1 Diabetes and
for future treatments with cell transplantation therapy. This
treatment could be offered to people with many different serious
chronic diseases caused by the degeneration of specific cells, such
as Type 1 Diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes is manifested by the selective
destruction of the insulin-producing cells in the body, which leads
to a life-long dependence on insulin injections to control blood
sugar levels. It is usually diagnosed in children and young adults.
Cell therapy may offer a better treatment by replacing the lost
cells with new insulin-producing cells derived from stem cells,
thus avoiding daily multiple insulin injections as well as numerous
blood glucose tests. This treatment may also offer better blood
glucose control, which is crucial to avoid late-stage complications
such as blindness and kidney failure. In this project Novo Nordisk
will generate new stem cell lines to be used in future cell
therapies to treat Type 1 Diabetes, Parkinson's and chronical heart
failure. Are you ready to make a difference?
