Digital & Data

For more than 20 years, Roche and Genentech have been at the forefront of applying digital technologies and data to enhance our groundbreaking research and development of innovative treatments.

Now we are working to truly integrate the use of digital and data into the fabric of our R&D to bring the next generation of truly innovative treatments to patients. Our digital and data partnering strategy is built around identifying strategic partners with whom we can pursue this vision.
