Immunology
What are we doing in the field of immunology?
Bristol Myers Squibb has been researching immune disorders for more than 20 years, discovering and developing therapies that help regulate the body's immune response.
Our goal is to provide patients with life-changing medicines, focusing on therapies with high potential in rheumatology, gastroenterology, dermatology, and neurology for rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/lupus nephritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and other immune-related diseases with high unmet needs, which can be used either alone or in combination.
