Empire Discovery Institute (EDI) entered into a five-year collaborative research partnership with global pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk A/S to launch LeapRx, a new initiative where EDI and Novo Nordisk will co-invest, incubate and accelerate innovative drug discovery and development projects from its academic partners.

Through this initiative, EDI will work closely with the recently formed Novo Nordisk Bio Innovation Hub in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
