Lundbeck Women in Science

Celebrate Lundbeck's Women in Science with Us

International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated each year on February 11. It's a time to promote participation in science for women and girls and voice support for gender equity.

At Lundbeck, we understand that we can’t effectively meet the needs of our patient communities if we lack diversity in our own organization. We are committed to building and maintaining a diverse and inclusive work environment in our labs, facilities, sites and locations across the globe. Because we know it will take #EveryBrainInTheGame to achieve our ambition of #1 in brain health.

Today we celebrate all women in science, and we introduce you to a few of the passionate people powering neuroscience innovation at Lundbeck. Get to know them and learn their "why brain science? Why Lundbeck?"
