About Dr. Miguel Sanjuan
Dr. Miguel Sanjuan is a group director in the BMS Immuno-Oncology Small Molecule Biology Department. At BMS, Dr. Sanjuan leads a team of world-class immunologists with a proven record of discovering cancer treatments. Prior to joining BMS in 2017, Dr. Sanjuan worked at Medimmune (AstraZeneca) for eight years, where he led a team of twenty innovative scientists focused on the discovery of novel molecules for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Previously, he worked as a staff scientist at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where he discovered a novel intracellular mechanism that linked for the first time the cellular self-digestion pathway, autophagy, with the elimination of extracellular pathogens. His cutting-edge research has collectively led to peer-reviewed publications, in journals such as Nature, Nature Immunology, Immunity, and the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, USA (PNAS).
Dr. Sanjuan received a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Seville and a doctorate in molecular biology from the Autonomous University of Madrid. He then trained as a postdoc fellow at Johnson & Johnson.
