About the Department

The Cohort and Disease Understanding (CDU) team is part of the Artificial Intelligence and Digital Research (AIDR) department, which is a global department with colleagues in China, Denmark, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Our scientists have significant expertise across a diverse set of disciplines in computational biology, bioinformatics, and machine learning, including multi-omic data analysis, functional genomics, systems biology, and biomarker analysis. The CDU team's mission is to characterise patients in a real-world context by leveraging human cohort and randomized clinical trial (RCT) omics and clinical data to better understand chronic cardiometabolic diseases.

The AIDR team sits within the wider Digital Science & Innovation (DSI) organisation, which is supporting the digital journey across all our therapy areas in Novo Nordisk Research and Early Discovery (R&ED). In DSI, we work in multidisciplinary teams and participate in drug development projects from early discovery to pre-clinical development. We engage in external collaborations to ensure access to the latest research and technology enablers and we focus on developing and retaining top talent.
