About the Company

Bristol Myers Squibb

Makes drugs for cancer, blood and immune diseases

Bristol Myers Squibb discovers, develops and sells prescription medicines for serious illnesses, including cancer, blood disorders, immune diseases and heart disease, for patients treated by doctors and hospitals around the world. Its best-known drug is Opdivo, an immunotherapy that helps the body's own immune system find and attack many kinds of cancer. Researchers develop drug candidates in its labs or bring them in through acquisitions and partnerships, then test them in clinical trials to win regulatory approval. The company makes and markets the approved medicines and earns its revenue from sales of patent-protected drugs. Its roots go back to a business founded in 1887, and it is based in Lawrence Township, New Jersey.
