Eli Lilly has been pursuing strategic expansions into new therapeutic fields, specifically mental health, immunology, and dermatology. In September 2026, the company completed its acquisition of AtaiBeckley, a biopharmaceutical firm focused on neuroplastogens for mental health conditions. A primary asset in this deal is BPL-003, an investigational therapy for treatment-resistant depression.

By October 2026, the company reported new clinical data from its Phase 3b TOGETHER-PsO study, showing that combining Taltz and Zepbound produces broader biomarker changes in patients with psoriasis and obesity compared to Taltz alone. Lilly also expanded its research through an $870 million agreement with Gate Bioscience to target disease-causing proteins and reinforced its presence in psychedelic medicine following the AtaiBeckley acquisition.
