Bristol Myers Squibb Careers, Benefits, Review

At Bristol Myers Squibb, we're leading the way in CAR T therapy. This emerging immunotherapy reprograms a patient's T-cells to recognize and attack cancer.

What is CAR T?
CAR T stands for "Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell" therapy.

How does it work?
T-cells are pieces of our immune system that attack and eliminate malignant cancer cells. During the CAR T process, the patient's T-cells are genetically modified and then administered back to the patient in specialized centers.

At BMS, every cell therapy product that we manufacture represents a unique cancer patient. CAR T manufacturing requires a personalized process, and each therapy is created from an individual patient's cells.

This is truly meaningful work.
Hear from Rhonda Greer, a Senior Manager, Cell Therapy Manufacturing:

"It's a personalized process...That's as close as I can get to a patient without being a nurse or a doctor. So that's meaningful to me. I'm making a difference for one individual at a time."
