Lilly CEO Praises Massachusetts' Leadership in Biotech, Urges Policy Prescriptions to Help Ensure State's Investment Generates Dividends and Jobs
Date:4/30/2008

d, reflect a new reality: a third of the new molecules in Lilly's development pipeline are not the traditional, chemical ("small molecule") compounds, but rather "large molecule" drugs synthesized from biological sources. Many other innovative companies are investing in these molecules, as well. One of the key public policy prescriptions he gave to better secure the state's biotech investment is passage of a bill that would ensure that intellectual property and data around biologics are appropriately protected. That legislation, the "Pathway for Biosimilars Act" (H.R. 5629), is now before Congress and is sponsored by several members of Massachusetts congressional delegation, including Reps. Michael Capuano, William Delahunt, Stephen F. Lynch and James P. McGovern. Without such protections, Lechleiter said, "the rationale for such investment will simply collapse in many cases."

He further called on policymakers to support fixing the country's immigration system to allow top-notch talent to come to the U.S. to foster innovation and research. And he stressed the importance of transparency on the part of regulators in setting their expectations and requirements of drug developers.

The Biz/Bio Program was established in 2004 to build "bridges of understanding" between key sectors - from government and financial interests to academic and pharmaceutical/biotech leaders - to establish and maintain a healthy environment for building and sustaining local and regional bioscience clusters.
