Since Roche was founded in 1896, we have been committed to innovation and to
being at the forefront of medical discovery. Today, with a strong foundation of
Roche scientists and technical capabilities, and a steadily expanding global
research network, including alliances with many of the world's most respected
research institutions and biotech companies, we are working to open up new
horizons in healthcare.
We invest nearly $3 billion a year in the
discovery and development of new products and technologies in both diagnostics
and pharmaceuticals. Our goal is to develop highly specific, clinically
differentiated treatments. That search includes advances in determining disease
predisposition and detection that will contribute to a comprehensive approach
to healthcare delivery.
