Executive Summary

BRISTOL-MYERS SQUIBB TOP R&D POSITION WILL BE HELD BY EDGAR HABER, MD, who will hold the title of president of Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute. His responsibilities will include Bristol-Myers Pharmaceutical R&D Division, Oncogen, and Squibb Institute for Medical Research, Bristol-Myers Squibb announced March 20.
