Flu: influenza viruses invade and take over the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract, proliferate rapidly and then infect other cells

Roche is at the forefront of efforts to advance the diagnosis and treatment of viral diseases, such as influenza and hepatitis B and C.

Our diagnostic tests enable more precise measurement of the amount of virus in the blood, which helps physicians provide individualised solutions for their patients.

Our medicines provide effective treatments for several viral diseases – and often cures – while molecules in our pipeline may offer the promise of a cure to even more patients.
