Danish/Spanish collaboration on skin disease research

30 May 2017

A unique collaboration has been announced today between Spanish and Danish drugmakers that aims to advance understanding of skin diseases by setting a new standard for skin sampling.

Spain’s largest drugmaker Almirall (ALM: MC) and Denmark’s LEO Pharma aim to develop and clinically validate a painless, minimally invasive skin sampling method that enables accurate and comprehensive biomarker analysis in clinical trials and exploratory research.

The agreement is unique in that it is the first time leading dermatology players join forces in research to advance understanding and treatment of skin diseases. No financial terms of the accord have been revealed.
