At Roche, we believe in fostering an environment where innovation can flourish and where the patient need is at the heart of our business. We are strong believers that collaboration is the key to this commitment. Through partnerships, we can build a better future together with medicines and diagnostics that make a real difference to patients.
We strive to work with the top scientists in the world, in a broad set of therapeutic areas, with the best tools and technologies, all with a singular goal: to help patients by enhancing our scientific drug discovery and development efforts. Partnered products account for 45% of our research pipeline and 36% of our total pharmaceutical sales.
Roche has long recognized the importance of external innovation by establishing partnering groups within our R&D organizations. While we are one company pursuing a common goal of helping patients through scientific excellence, Roche and Genentech maintain independent R&D organizations served by separate business development groups.
In addition to bringing new medicines and diagnostic tests to market in Canada, Roche recognizes that we have a role to play in broader health system partnerships. We believe that collaboration between our organization and other research-driven institutions is critical to advancing science today and well into the future.

Roche has partnered with
Roche has been a key supporter of the BC Cancer’s Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) program that is embedding genomic sequencing into diagnostic and treatment planning for patients with incurable cancers. The goal of this program is to use genomic information to direct patients towards targeted therapies whenever possible. This experimental program has served over 1,000 B.C. cancer patients impacted by 50 different types of cancer since 2014.
Roche’s strategic collaboration with
Princess Margaret Cancer Centre is one of 21 institutions partnering with Roche through our global cancer immunotherapy Centers of Research Excellence (imCORE) Network, representing many of the world’s leading scientific and clinical experts in cancer immunotherapy. The goal of the imCORE Network is to rapidly initiate pre-clinical and clinical research based on the latest scientific discoveries and to aggregate, as well as share data to accelerate the search for cures for people with cancer. Through this investment, the Network focuses on identifying approaches to expand the number of people who benefit from cancer immunotherapy by exploring new ways to activate a person’s immune system to fight cancer.
