Eli Lilly has expanded its drug delivery partnership with Starpharma to include further in vivo studies and clinical testing.

Last year Lilly began funding collaborative research into the use of Starpharma’s dendrimer drug delivery technology with its portfolio of compounds. Close to two years later the partners have expanded the deal to prepare for development projects entering the clinic.

 

We are pleased to be able to report progress in our collaborations with Lilly [and] value the opportunity to advance our relationship”, Jackie Fairley, CEO Starpharma, said.

 

Several projects to deliver small molecules and protein-based drugs are underway but further details are being kept private for now.
