WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Eli Lilly and Co. announced Thursday (June 5) at World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, that it will team with Purdue University to teach other nations how to manufacture drugs to fight tuberculosis, an effort expected to bring high-paying jobs to Indiana. The partnership also involves the World Health Organization, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Harvard Medical School. The project will be Purdue’s first foray into drug manufacturing and will yield the first contract for the School of Pharmacy’s Good Manufacturing Practices facility, which will be located in the Purdue Research Park. When completed in late 2004, the facility will allow Purdue to teach students and professionals worldwide about commercial drug production and management. As the. Source : accessmylibrary.com |
