Event Description
One Health: Advancing and Defining Indiana’s Leadership Opportunity
For more than two decades, the BioCrossroads Life Sciences Summit has served as a platform to elevate the people, organizations, and innovations driving Indiana’s life sciences sector forward. Each year, the Summit convenes more than 250 leaders from industry, academia, startups, policy, and the nonprofit sector for a focused day of dialogue around the most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities shaping the field.
The 2025 BioCrossroads Life Sciences Summit will put One Health at the center, recognizing that human, animal, plant, and environmental health are deeply interconnected, and that breakthroughs in one area can spark innovation across them all. With world-class R1 research universities, global industry leaders, and strong cross-sector partnerships, Indiana is uniquely positioned to define and deliver real-world One Health solutions.
Held in the heart of the emerging One Health Innovation District, this year’s Summit will bring together leaders from industry, academia, non-profits, and government for a full day of strategic dialogue. Conversations will focus on advancing sustainable farming, improving companion pet health, and reshoring critical supply chains — areas where Indiana’s strengths can make a global impact on public health and national security.
Indiana Secretary of Commerce David Adams will deliver keynote remarks on Indiana’s One Health economy. Joining him are leaders who shape Indiana’s strategy and impact, including Purdue University President Mung Chiang, Indiana University President Pamela Whitten, Eli Lilly and Company CEO Dave Ricks, and U.S. Senator Todd Young.
Throughout the day, they will examine the economic benefits of a One Health strategy, national security implications of onshoring critical products, and the collaborative role of advanced chemistry.
Additional panel discussions will feature Jeff Simmons, President and CEO of Elanco, Chuck Magro, CEO of Corteva, and the new President and CEO of AgriNovus, Christy Wright, alongside researchers from Purdue, Notre Dame, IU, and national experts already advancing One Health models.
