Abstract
At Novo Nordisk, we have a human centric approach to drug discovery, for example by harnessing human genetics and integrating other omics and data types to identify potential targets in cardiometabolic diseases. That targets with human genetics support are more likely to be successful in clinical development, is well established. What is less often discussed is, can we further leverage human data to help develop therapies for patients? I will highlight a few examples of what we are thinking about in relation to using human genetics at Novo Nordisk, beyond target identification.
