Oxford-BMS Fellowship
This prestigious 3-year Fellowship (formerly Oxford-Celgene Fellowship) stimulates new scientific discovery and translation and facilitates skills and people transfer between researchers in academia and industry. The programme is closed for applications at the moment and currently there is no expectation it will be open again soon.
Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) is a global biopharmaceutical company making advancements in oncology, haematology, immunology and cardiovascular disease. BMS are dedicated to helping patients prevail over serious diseases through a diverse and promising pipeline and new scientific platforms.
BMS acquired Celgene in 2019. Prior to 2019, in partnership with the Oxford Medical Sciences Division, Celgene co-developed and provided support for fellowships which will continue as the Oxford-BMS Translational Research Fellowship Programme.
The goals of this scheme are to stimulate new scientific discovery and translation and to facilitate skills and people transfer between researchers in academia and industry.
This programme offers fellows an opportunity to gain exposure to the field of commercial drug discovery and development. Fellows have an assigned company mentor and where appropriate are encouraged to spend some time based in BMS laboratories.
Funding has been awarded to Oxford Principal Investigators to support 3 year fellowship projects for early career researchers that demonstrate a clear translational value to the advancement of therapeutics. Three to four awards have been made annually.

The programme is currently on pause and not accepting applications.
