As my colleague Greg discussed last week, Eli Lilly, like many other large pharmaceutical companies, has realized the importance of strategic partnerships from discovery to launch. Current market forces and outdated operating dynamics have forced large pharmaceutical companies to investigate “fully integrated pharmaceutical network” (FIPNets) as a way to gain best practices in non-core competencies. And while the pharmaceutical industry continues to determine the precise nature of an efficient FIPNet model, there is no doubt that strategic partnerships will play an ever-increasing role in drug development.
Lilly is certainly on the leading edge of executing partnership programs. In part because Lilly has a long history of using partnerships to build their pipeline. Remember the world’s first commercially available insulin product (Iletin) in 1923 was the result of a collaboration of Lilly and Frederick Banting and Charles Best, professors at the University of Toronto. Banting went on to win the Nobel Prize for his role in isolating and purifying insulin. Another large breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes was the partnership of Herbert Boyer, Founder of Genetech and Lilly to produce the first commercially available biosynthetic human insulin (Humulin) in 1982. Lilly can also point to more recent partnerships such as Galapagos and Piramal Life Sciences.
FIPNets provide enhanced productivity, expand capabilities, and increase access to assets. The multiple deal structures and decentralized management of FIPNets will increase logistical management. But with today’s technology and the benefits gained from a shared risk and reward model, we believe that the services provided by PhysioGenix are the ideal choice for businesses looking to outsource preclinical research. We are constantly striving to refine our processes and communication methods for our clients driving value into our “core competencies” within the global FIPNet model.
