On using AI and Data Analytics in Pharmaceutical Research. Interview with Bryn Roberts
Earlier this month, Prof Zicari had the pleasure of interviewing Bryn Roberts, Global Head of Operations for Roche Pharmaceutical Research & Early Development, and Site Head in Basel.
” I’m intrigued by the general trend towards empowering individuals to share their data in a secure and controlled environment. Democratisation of data in this way has to be the future. Imagine what we will be able to do in decades to come, when individuals have access to their complete healthcare records in electronic form, paired with high quality data from genomics, epigenetics, microbiome, imaging, activity and lifestyle profiles, etc., supported by a platform that enables individuals to share all or parts of their data with partners of their choice, for purposes they care about, in return for services they value – very exciting! “ — Bryn Roberts
