Copenhagen, Denmark– 28 April, 2005 –
Jens Peter Nørgaard, Ferring’s chief scientific officer for urology in clinical research and development, has been awarded the prestigious Adjunct Professorship of Urology at the University of Lund, Sweden.
Jens Peter, who has specialised in urology and paediatric surgery since qualifying as a medical doctor in 1981, will combine the professorship with his current role at Ferring in Copenhagen, where he has worked since 1997.

“It is the fulfilment of a long and fruitful partnership between the university’s urology department and Ferring,” he added “and it supports the Medicon Valley Academy’s objective of building bridges between the pharmaceutical industry, academia and hospitals.”
Pascal Danglas, Ferring’s executive vice president of clinical and product development, echoed Professor Mattiasson’s views. “We have had an excellent relationship with the University for many years, and we are enthusiastic about the contribution Jens Peter can make in bringing closer cooperation between the industry, universities and the public health sector.”
