Eli Lilly and Company

Science has been our calling from the beginning. Colonel Eli Lilly founded the company in 1876 and charged employees to “take what you find here and make it better and better.” More than 147 years later, we remain committed to his vision through every aspect of our business and the people we serve, starting with discovering the best treatments for those who take our medicines and extending to health care professionals, employees and the communities in which we live. Moreover, you can also count on the team at Lilly to be incredibly civic-minded, supporting our communities through philanthropy, volunteerism, and a creative and innovative can-do spirit.

Karina found her fit at Lilly through our summer internship program. She is now hoping to inspire more Latinx students to make changes in the STEM field just as her mentor did for her. Visit careers.lilly.com/LRL to find open roles in Lilly’s research labs. #WeAreLilly
