Description
The College of American Pathologists Foundation’s Clinical Laboratory Science Investigator Award, sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company, provides a four-week onsite research training experience at Lilly’s Clinical Diagnostics Laboratory in Indianapolis. Pathology residents participate in projects focused on improving the discovery, quality, and delivery of novel biomarker assays for clinical studies, supporting effective drug and diagnostic development.
The experience introduces residents to the clinical trial ecosystem, advanced analytical techniques, and the challenges and opportunities of applying laboratory medicine within industry. Projects reflect individual interests, including clinical chemistry, anatomic pathology, or molecular diagnostics. Participants interact with Lilly laboratory professionals to explore how pathologists contribute to medical innovation and gain a broader perspective on career pathways.
