This review will chronicle the genesis and the next fifty years or so of the Isotopic Chemistry effort at Eli Lilly and Company. It all began from a seed planted in Bob McMahon's mind while a post‐doctoral fellow at MIT in 1949 and was later cultivated when he joined the Lilly Research Laboratories in 1954. From the humble beginnings of a few part‐time radiochemists/part time metabolism scientists (Bob McMahon and Hugh Sullivan), the group has evolved to the eleven dedicated scientists that we have today.
