Roche's Research and Early Development organisations at Genentech (gRED) and Pharma (pRED) need to leverage advances in AI, data, and computational sciences to transform drug discovery and development. Seamless data sharing and access to models across gRED and pRED are essential to maximizing these opportunities. The new Computational Sciences Center of Excellence (CoE) aims to harness the transformative power of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist scientists in delivering more innovative and transformative medicines.
