(Nasdaq: BFRI), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the commercialization of dermatological products, announced today that PM360, a publication for marketing decision makers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, diagnostics and medical device industries, has named Leslie Hopkins, Associate Director of Marketing, as a Trailblazer Brand Champion in the Dermatology category.

“It’s heartening to receive industry recognition of our exceptional marketing work.

She motivated the team to change their thinking of AK treatment and their perception of PDT, and pushed for stronger creative for the campaign to disrupt the market and reinvigorate the brand. Her strategic approach, attention to detail and dedication to her team and our brand resulted in a highly successful relaunch,” stated Erica Monaco, Chief Executive Officer of Biofrontera Inc.

Everything they do, every healthcare stakeholder they engage with, every strategy they enact and every channel they explore are all in pursuit of the goal of helping patients get the treatments they need to improve their quality of life.”
