About Derek Franklin
Former Research Fellow at Vanderbilt University Medical Center with a PhD in Pharmacology from UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine. I have a strong foundation in translational science, with a proven track record in scientific communication and cross-functional collaboration—reflected in peer-reviewed publications and national conference presentations.As an Oncology MSL focused on GI and Thoracic cancers, I’m passionate about advancing cancer care through meaningful scientific exchange. I bring Lilly’s values—Integrity, Excellence, and Respect for People—into every interaction, while embracing inclusion, innovation, and urgency to deliver real impact for patients and providers.
