​Eli Lilly and Company

At Lilly, we take smart risks on bold science to achieve our mission of bringing life-changing medicines to patients. As a community of scientists, we understand the brilliance and dedication this work takes. We also recognize our responsibility as partners to help advance life-changing medicines within our walls and beyond. More than 100 years ago, we pioneered strategic collaborations to scale the bold work of four University of Toronto research scientists to launch the world’s first commercial insulin. We're proud to continue our legacy in collaboration, with ~50% of our new product launches in the last 10 years enabled by external innovation, and over 70 active alliances with the vibrant academic and biotech ecosystem.  We know that every partnership is different - from stage, modality, therapeutic area, and culture. We have the skill, capabilities, and know-how to bring a holistic suite of models to life to continuously meet your needs. Let’s grow together!
