Biography
Percy leads a team responsible for discovering drug candidates across therapeutic areas and molecular platforms. His role requires collaboration across teams in multiple sites, including in the U.S. and India, to discover clinical candidates. Percy was a Senior Research Scientist in Chemical and Physical Sciences at DuPont Pharmaceuticals from 1999-2001, and joined Bristol-Myers Squibb when the company acquired DuPont Pharmaceuticals in 2001. Shortly after joining Bristol-Myers Squibb, he began leading a team of scientists responsible for two programs, and has steadily taken on increased responsibility and leadership in Discovery Chemistry. Throughout his leadership, his teams have brought forward a number of clinical candidates into development. Prior to his current role, Percy founded the Discovery Chemistry Platforms group, which uses technology both to enhance efficiency (e.g., high throughput synthesis/purification, scale-up synthesis, and radiochemistry) and to expand the boundaries of traditional medicinal chemistry (e.g., millamolecules, anti-sense oligonucleotides, and protein conjugates).
