Our Oncology Pipeline

We have more than a dozen next-generation molecules in the clinic, each with a distinctive mechanism of action against either hematologic malignancies or solid tumors.

Follow the Science

Our R&D teams follow the science to find treatments for people living with cancer. 

Voices from the Lab: Nizar El Murr on Immuno-oncology

Our Multi-Front Attack on Cancer

John Reed and Frank Nestle discuss how we’re building an R&D pipeline to address critical gaps in cancer care

Bolstering the Immune System

Our immuno-oncology teams are working on ways to boost the immune system to better detect and attack tumors. And our molecular oncology teams are designing powerful precision drugs to either destroy cancer cells or activate immune cells locally.

Rethinking Oncology Drug Development

Our culture of collaboration empowers our teams to achieve real change for people battling cancer.

Technology Toolbox

We’ve reshaped our footprint in oncology, expanding our capabilities with state-of-the-art technologies in immuno-oncology, molecular oncology, and genomic medicine.
 

Collaboration

To further our bold vision of generating multiple candidates every year, we collaborate with innovative partners to break new ground in oncology.

Patient Centricity

By listening, learning, and keeping patients at the center of everything we do, we can advance the science and make a lasting difference in people’s lives.
