We are dedicated to championing the needs and experiences of people living with neurological and psychiatric diseases through developing disease-modifying, as well as symptomatic therapies.
Featured in neuroscience
Intended for healthcare professionals, scientific audiences and media.
Through our deep understanding of these complex conditions, we are developing medicines that can help restore function to those living with neurological and psychiatric conditions. Our research focuses on disease progression, with casual human biology informing our scientific discovery engine, as well as symptomatic therapies, as we work to advance mechanistically differentiated treatments for those living with neurological or psychiatric conditions.
Bristol Myers Squibb has built an innovative neuroscience research and development model to bring transformational therapies to patients.
Our neuroscience focus areas
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is the leading form of dementia and is characterized by the loss of cognitive functioning, such as thinking, remembering, and reasoning. Behavioral symptoms, such as psychosis, agitation and aggression are also common side effects of Alzheimer’s disease and can become more prevalent with increase disease severity.
Multiple sclerosis
MS is a disabling, unpredictable, neuroinflammatory disease in which the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath that covers the nerves. We are focused on delivering meaningful innovations to help preserve physical and cognitive function in people living with MS.

Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a persistent and often disabling mental illness impacting how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Signs and symptoms usually appear in early adulthood, oftentimes impacting developmental milestones such as finishing school, maintaining employment, and relationships. Although many people living with schizophrenia have difficulty finding a safe and effective treatment, with the help of a dedicated care team, it is possible for people with schizophrenia to lead full lives.
