Intern to Full Time Employee: Jessica Netto’s Journey in STEM at BMS

Building Careers /

My STEM journey began in high school when I took a bioengineering class, sparking my interest in the field. This led me choosing to major in Biomedical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). WPI’s project-based learning approach deepened my interest and provided valuable hands-on experience for future roles. During the summer of my freshman year, I joined an academic research lab focused on in-vitro disease modeling, led by Dr. Catherine Whittington. Dr. Whittington was an amazing mentor to me in STEM. She mentored me in planning and conducting experiments, provided me with numerous opportunities to present my research and offered career advice. I researched in Dr. Whittington’s lab for the

“An Amazing Opportunity”: Rachel Quan’s Internship Story at BMS

Building Careers /

If I said I was nervous at the start of my internship at Bristol Myers Squibb, that would be an understatement. Relocating to Princeton, NJ was my first time living outside of Illinois, I had never interned at a company, and I was not sure what working in Discovery Synthesis would exactly entail. Thanks to the emphasis on passion and learning, I have gained much from my experience working at BMS. Through my role in Discovery Synthesis, I have learned a lot about the environment and goals of scientists working at a major pharmaceutical company. In the long course of developing a drug, the Discovery Synthesis group plays a role

OLA Mentorship

A BMS Science Career Blossoms with the Help of a Mentor

Mentorship can be an incredibly powerful experience, positively affecting the lives of the mentor and the mentee. These experiences can hold even more weight to members of groups and ethnicities underrepresented in STEM fields, where individuals might not be aware of opportunities and therefore fall back on familiar careers they’ve had exposure to. Such was the case with Jesus Moreno, Principal Scientist and Medicinal Chemist in Small Molecule Drug Discovery at Bristol Myers Squibb. Growing up, Jesus had an intense interest in the sciences, but until he developed a varied and resourceful support system of mentors that helped him navigate and refine what his interests were, he felt a bit

Shawn He and Team Introduce New Cancer Therapies to China

Meet Our People /

Shawn He, Senior Director of Hematology Clinical Research for Bristol Myers Squibb, has always had a passion for helping people. That’s what inspired him to begin his career practicing medicine—working as a clinical physician in his home country of China, where he specialized in helping patients who struggled with rare blood cancers such as chronic myelogenous leukemia. But Shawn quickly came to realize that an opportunity existed for him to help even more people than just the patients he treated one-on-one. That realization began a journey that would eventually lead him to joining Bristol Myers Squibb – a decision he’d make not just once, but twice in his career –

Stepping Up for Reservists on Active Duty and Their Families

Life At BMS /

U.S. Navy Reservist Scott Capsello had been working at Bristol Myers Squibb for just six weeks when he got a call to report for duty. “I remember the date because Syracuse had won the Basketball National Championship,” Scott explains. “So, when the phone rang at 10 p.m., at first I just assumed it was my hometown Syracuse friends calling to talk about it.” Instead, it was a captain from the United States Navy informing Scott he’d be required to report for duty just two days later. He remembers thinking at the time: “Is BMS going to keep me? What’s going to happen?” It was an incredibly stressful situation for Scott

Today, we have access to more data than ever before. But the value of this data can only be realized if we are able to analyze, interpret and apply it. That’s where data science comes into play, and at BMS, our teams are using it to transform the way we discover and develop new medicines. Here, we take a look into how it manifests across Research and Early Development Departments (R&ED) at BMS. “Data science is really a brand-new field,” said Nicole Glazer, Vice President of Knowledge Science Research in Informatics & Predictive Sciences. “People have been doing this type of work for many years, but it didn’t really coalesce
