Innovation

Driven by our passion for what we do, our autonomy in how we find solutions, and the strength of our R&D structure, we can take on the most complex challenges in healthcare.

Cooperation between Pharma & Diagnostics divisions

Roche believes that finding innovative solutions for serious, currently unsolved medical problems is what a healthcare company is all about. Our people strive to create clinically differentiated drugs and diagnostic tests to enable tangible improvements in the health, quality of life and survival of patients.

Over the past few years we have continously improved the organisational and technological framework to fully leverage the synergies between our Pharma and Diagnostics divisions.
Although they have different R&D processes, the two divisions can share research facilities, technologies and discoveries when working together on internal projects. This is a unique advantage that sets Roche apart from other companies. Diagnostic tools are finding increasing use in pharmaceutical research.
