S4 Ep10: Redefining Innovation with Gateway Labs by Lilly: A Look Inside the Accelerator Experience

Medical innovations rarely happen in a silo. For the last decade, the biopharmaceutical industry has been working to accelerate the research and discovery process by creating a “new normal” for innovation by fostering collaboration. Embracing start-up culture with shared innovation labs – an accelerator model to offer start-ups and other companies’ direct access to mentorship, lab space and equipment and potential to access opportunities for venture funding – have been becoming more popular in recent years as a way to speed the discovery of medicines through collaboration. 

This week, guest host Brooke Frost, external engagement leader in business development at Lilly, is joined by Julie Gilmore, Global Head at Gateway Labs by Lilly. Brooke and Julie will share insights of working in a shared innovation space, how this kind of collaboration is fostering scientific breakthroughs and addressing the challenges of start-ups in the industry and how shared innovation labs can accelerate medical innovations in order to bring medicines to patients faster, more safely and more efficiently.
