Discovery Chemistry
At Bristol-Myers Squibb, discovering new medicines is the product of an interdisciplinary team effort involving a highly interactive and collaborative approach. Chemists and biologists, together with experts in pharmaceutics, drug metabolism, toxicology and medicine, work closely together to identify compounds that can ultimately help fulfill an unmet medical need.
Each day holds the potential to complete the synthesis of a new drug candidate that answers a key question or provides molecular insight into a disease mechanism. Ultimately, any one of these new drug candidates could potentially become an approved drug that helps a patient prevail over a serious disease.
Our objective within Discovery Chemistry is to combine cutting-edge academic and industrial science and state-of-the-art laboratory instrumentation with the chemical and medicinal insight of our highly trained staff to conceptualize and synthesize best-in-class drug candidates.
Our highly dedicated team consists of people with strong backgrounds in the chemical sciences, problem-solving skills and track records of individual scientific achievement. We thrive in a team-based environment and develop strong partnerships with cross-functional team members.
