BMS will deploy Claude broadly across the company, empowering more than 30,000 employees with advanced reasoning and agentic capabilities. The deployment focuses on three priorities where BMS expects the highest near-term impact:

Accelerating engineering with Claude Code. BMS’ engineering and data science teams will leverage Claude Code to speed software and AI development. By standardizing how they build and deploy capabilities across the enterprise, teams can unlock data and expertise long trapped in the disconnected systems that define biopharma today.

Embedding agents into the workflows that move drugs forward. BMS will evaluate the potential for Claude to serve as the agentic layer within priority workflows where AI is already driving impact across the value chain, including:
Research: Applying advanced AI reasoning to decades of BMS’ proprietary scientific, molecular, and clinical data, further enabling researchers to synthesize, interrogate, and extract predictive insights that accelerate target identification and optimization across oncology, hematology, neuroscience, and immunology.
Drug development: Bringing intelligent automation to the full arc of trial documentation, from drafting clinical study reports and patient safety narratives to supporting regulatory submissions, with the potential to compress the time between data lock and filing.
Manufacturing & quality: Enabling end‑to‑end acceleration across product development and manufacturing, from root‑cause investigation and Corrective and Preventive Action documentation to data‑driven batch release decisions – strengthening quality and compliance, accelerating decision‑making, and delivering medicines to patients faster and more reliably.
Commercial & medical affairs: Turning field insights into structured intelligence that enables more personalized and timely engagement with healthcare professionals, helping BMS connect the right information to the right people at the moments that matter most in their practice.

Connecting Claude to the institutional knowledge that lives across BMS. Through secure integrations with the systems and repositories where BMS’ scientific, clinical, regulatory, and commercial expertise resides, Claude’s agentic capabilities will help connect and activate that knowledge where and when it is most needed, with full enterprise governance and audit controls in place.
The collaboration builds on more than three years of AI investment at BMS, where the company has given employees unlimited access to leading frontier models through a proprietary internal platform. Those investments have established BMS as a leader in AI integration across research, clinical development, manufacturing and commercial functions, and reflect a deliberate multi-vendor strategy that draws on the best capabilities the industry has to offer.

"For more than 160 years, BMS has pushed the boundaries of science to transform patients’ lives, and artificial intelligence is the single most powerful opportunity we have to accelerate that mission today," said Greg Meyers, EVP and Chief Digital & Technology Officer, Bristol Myers Squibb. "Most enterprise AI stops at the chatbot. The real prize is the untapped value still trapped behind decades of data silos, and this collaboration is how we reach it. Anthropic’s Claude gives us the agentic capabilities, pace of innovation, and security necessary to connect our systems and put that collective knowledge in the hands of every BMS employee to accelerate innovation for patients. The companies that lead the next decade of biopharma will be the ones that learn to operate fundamentally differently with AI, and BMS intends to be one of them."

"By giving employees access to Claude’s agentic capabilities — connected to thousands of data sources across the company — BMS is creating a single intelligence layer that can generate a clinical study report from underlying trial data, surface the right scientific context from decades of internal research, or trace the root cause of a manufacturing deviation in real time," said Eric Kauderer-Abrams, Head of Life Sciences, Anthropic. "In a regulated global enterprise, that means medicines reach patients faster — with BMS’ scientific depth and operational rigor accelerated by Claude agents at every step."

Sensome Announces Positive First-in-Human Study Results for In Situ Tumor Detection Technology for Lung Cancer

On May 19, 2026 Sensome, the pioneer of microsensing technology for real-time, intra-operative tissue analysis, reported positive results from its first-in-human INSPECT study evaluating its microsensor technology integrated into a smart stylet for bronchoscopic lung biopsy. The study showed that Sensome’s tumor detection technology safely and accurately identified and differentiated between cancerous tissue and healthy tissue. The study was presented today by Amir Hanna, MD, Interventional Pulmonologist and Principal Investigator of the INSPECT study for Marie-Lannelongue Hospital, France at the annual meeting of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) in Orlando, Florida.

Lead author Dr. Hanna commented, "In this early study, the smart stylet accurately identified lesions or cancer amid the complex conditions of in situ lung tissue. With the learning curves of the technology’s algorithm suggesting the potential to exceed 90% overall performance,1 these results show clear promise for real-time decision support during lung biopsy. By confirming relevant sampling sites and tool-in-lesion, this technology holds promise to significantly boost biopsy diagnostic yield and shorten the path to lung cancer diagnosis and treatment."

Lung cancer is the most common and deadly cancer in the world, killing almost two million people globally each year. Detection of lung cancer in its early stages dramatically improves the five-year survival rate of patients when compared to late-stage detection. However, lung cancer is challenging to diagnose today with conventional methods, with an up to 58% failure rate in obtaining a successful biopsy,2 which causes repeat procedures and treatment delays of up to six months.3

Sensome’s technology is intended to confirm placement of a biopsy tool within a tumor during bronchoscopic biopsy of endobronchial and peripheral tumors without reliance on additional imaging modalities, which are not able to identify cancerous tissue. The novel tool-in-lesion system is designed to guide the bronchoscopist in precisely locating optimal biopsy sites, with the goal of reducing delays in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

INSPECT Study Results

The INSPECT study is a first-in-human, multi-center, single-arm study of 27 patients across Australia and France. In each case, the smart stylet was placed inside the biopsy needle and tissue readings were taken immediately prior to biopsy of each patient, with histopathology confirming accuracy of the measurement. Results were validated using cross-validation.

In the study, not only was the smart stylet able to differentiate between cancer and healthy tissue, but it also differentiated cancer from other non-cancerous tissue, such as necrotic tissue. With a dataset of only 27 patients, the Sensome technology demonstrated 80.9% accuracy in differentiating healthy from abnormal lung tissue—achieving sensitivity of 88.5% and specificity of 71.4%—and 78.7% accuracy when differentiating cancer from all other types of tissues—achieving sensitivity of 78.3% and specificity of 79.2%.1

"Lung cancer screening programs have commenced around the world, resulting in an explosion of demand for lung cancer biopsies. It is important that we have the tools that will enable us to respond to this new flood of patients with timely and accurate diagnosis," said Associate Professor David Fielding, Director of Thoracic Medicine at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in Australia and Principal Investigator of the INSPECT study. "The results from the INSPECT study suggest that Sensome’s smart stylet has the potential to provide this, especially as it integrates well into our existing workflow."

"We have developed a tool designed to assist clinicians in the moment of action, to ensure they are performing a biopsy of the cancerous tumor and not healthy or other non-cancerous tissue; a biopsy of non-cancerous tissue is not useful in arriving at a diagnosis. Our goal is to eliminate the trial and error associated with mistakenly performing biopsy on tissue that delays cancer diagnosis and treatment," said Sensome CEO Franz Bozsak. "Our technology works just like a conventional stylet used in biopsy today, except we have made it ‘smart’ with the integration of our sensor into the device, which provides biological intelligence. We are very encouraged by the positive results seen in this feasibility study and expect to see even greater accuracy from our technology in the future as its algorithms learn and improve from the additional patient data we will gather."
