Who we are and what we do

We are a global healthcare company, founded in 1923 and headquartered just outside Copenhagen, Denmark.

Our purpose is to drive change to defeat diabetes and other serious chronic diseases such as obesity, and rare blood and rare endocrine diseases.

We do so by pioneering scientific breakthroughs, expanding access to our medicines and working to prevent and ultimately cure the diseases we treat.

We employ more than 45,000 people in 80 offices around the world, and market our products in 169 countries.

Working as a PhD at Novo Nordisk

At Novo Nordisk, we don't wait for change. We drive change.

We're a dynamic company in an even more dynamic industry, and we know that what got us to where we are today is not necessarily what will make us successful in the future.

We embrace the spirit of experimentation, striving for excellence without fixating on perfection. We never shy away from opportunities to develop, we seize them.

Working at Novo Nordisk is working toward something bigger than ourselves, and it's a collective effort. Novo Nordisk relies on the joint potential and collaboration of its more than 40,000 employees to change the lives for the better for millions of patients living with diabetes and other chronic diseases.
Together, we go further. Together, we're life changing.
