AMRI to recruit 40 synthetic chemists to work at Lilly hq in Indiana


AMRI anticipates hiring more than 40 synthetic chemists by the third quarter of 2012 to support Eli Lilly’s drug discovery programmes. The move is part of a new collaboration agreement that AMRI has signed with the US pharmaceutical firm.

The chemists will work on site at Lilly’s headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, where they will support the medicinal chemistry department. The aim is to accelerate Lilly’s drug discovery efforts by maximising real-time exchange of scientific information. AMRI says it expects to recruit the majority of the chemists for this collaboration from Indiana and surrounding states.

The term of the collaboration is six years, extendable by mutual agreement of both parties.
