Research & Scientific Discovery
Discovery has been our calling from the beginning. More than 140 years and nearly 100 medicines later, we continue to look for the next great innovation to help make life better for people around the world.
From being the first to manufacture insulin, to the significant advancements we’re making in genetic medicine today, we’ve been at the forefront of science. You could say innovation and discovery are in our DNA.
With deep expertise in biology and human genetics, our researchers are leveraging cutting-edge science and technology to create life-changing medicines — including RNA and DNA-based therapeutics. Our recent advancements in gene therapy allow us to potentially treat or even prevent diseases in a manner not possible with traditional medicines. In fact, genetic medicines make up more than 25% of our pipeline.
We are driven to uncover the next great idea, the next collaboration, the next advancement in technology that will drive us forward. It’s all for one reason—to help more people.
The Potential of Genetic Medicine
Leah is just one of millions of people who are hopeful for the potential treatments and cures that could come from genetic medicine. She shares her experience living with ALS, along with perspectives from Lilly scientists advancing this work, in a video produced for us by BBC StoryWorks.
