About
Eli Lilly and Company is a global pharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (LLY). It is included here as a major industry player whose recent portfolio and partnerships intersect with aging biology rather than as a dedicated longevity company. Its incretin franchise, the GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound), targets type 2 diabetes and obesity and is under wide study for cardiometabolic and other age-related outcomes, and its anti-amyloid antibody donanemab (Kisunla) is approved for early Alzheimer's disease. In 2025-2026 Lilly entered a research collaboration and then a global R&D and licensing agreement with the AI drug-discovery company Insilico Medicine, and it was a cornerstone investor in Insilico's Hong Kong listing. The company runs early-stage discovery efforts, including its Gateway Labs incubators, across metabolic, neurodegenerative and immunological disease.
