Transformational Prevention Unit webinar
Discover the work of the Transformational Prevention Unit (TPU), a scientific and innovative business unit within Novo Nordisk, at a webinar on Wednesday 14 May (1-2pm).
The TPU’s mission is to develop scientific and scalable commercial solutions that prevent obesity and its consequences for people at greatest risk. By combining Novo Nordisk’s scientific insights with clinical data as well as public health data and information, this unit aims to identify people at high risk for developing obesity and deliver targeted interventions that can stop them from developing the disease in the first place.
