BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

We were a young company. We didn’t know anything… And when the company was purchased by Eli Lilly, it was like ‘Animal House’ meets ‘The Waltons.’ 
Eli Lilly and Company and Boehringer Ingelheim are naturally disappointed by the CHMP's opinion
We are delighted to add Nextech Venture, Arcus Ventures and Innovis Investments, three oncology-focused investors, as well as Eli Lilly and Company to our roster of blue chip shareholders. Our experienced investor syndicate provides critical support to MacroGenics as we drive our programs through clinical development towards commercialization
Our sincere gratitude is extended to Eli Lilly and Company for its sustained commitment to the work of the CBCF ... We look forward to its continued support as we work to advance African Americans and people of African descent towards equity in economics, health and education.
Lilly is completing another year of solid operating performance ... The strong results we've seen year-to-date reflect an ongoing focus on execution across all geographies and across our product portfolio. This positions us for success in 2009 and will enable us to effectively deal with the patent expirations we will face in the next decade.
Despite the challenges we face, the opportunities are also growing - the science has never been richer and there is no lack of unmet medical needs that we can address through our R&D efforts.
Lilly's goal is to substantially improve R&D productivity and reduce late-stage attrition, thereby lowering the cost to bring a new molecular entity (NME) to market, from $1.2 billion in 2007 to $800 million by 2010. Our most recent estimate of $1.0 billion shows that we are making significant progress toward achieving this goal through our R&D transformation.
The pharmaceutical industry, however, continues to face major challenges, and we must act quickly and decisively to address them
Our scientists are dedicated to maximizing the potential of our pipeline, which now boasts an unprecedented 59 molecules in clinical development, 40 percent of which are biotech-based. Lilly's success depends on innovation, and the promising molecules we are discussing at today's meeting bode well for the future of our company and the patients we serve.
Lilly continues to deliver strong financial results to our shareholders through an attractive combination of volume-based sales growth for key marketed products and an ongoing commitment to productivity and cost containment
