Lilly recently opened its doors and laboratories to a diverse and talented group of 21 central Indiana high school students participating in Young Innovators Quest. Organized by the non-profit Health and Science Innovations, the summer camp is designed to motivate students to become innovators in science, technology, engineering and math.

During the visit, the students had the opportunity to experience aspects of Lilly’s drug development process, including our structure 3D program and demonstrations on auto-synthesis. In addition, members of the Organization of Latinos at Lilly employee resource group and Lilly Research Laboratories participated in a panel discussion, giving the students a glimpse into their personal career paths and future opportunities in STEM.
