This week, after five years of research, two newly discovered antiviral molecules have been shown to combat coronaviruses. Johan Neyts of the Rega Institute for Medical Research in Leuven outlines how he hopes the new molecule developed by his team might help us deal with emerging pandemics in the future. But as the US halts all Covid related research, will drugs like these ever hit the shelves? Among the grants terminated this week by the National Institute for Health is a programme called AViDD, AntiViral Drug Discovery, supporting 9 independent consortia. Annette von Delft of Oxford University and Ed Griffen of the drugs discovery company MedChemica spoke to us about the overnight shut down of years of work and importance of antiviral development. The longest ever carbon-based molecules have been discovered by the Mars Curiosity rover. Caroline Freissinet of the Laboratoire Atmosphères et Observations Spatiales talked us through the meticulous planning and geological chance that made this possible, and whether these long chain alkanes could be a clue to discovering life on mars. Researchers at Vanderbilt University have been delving into the genetic evolution of horses to discover the mutation that's behind their runaway metabolic success. Gianni Castiglione explains how a mutation that should have been catastrophic instead helped horses to evolve from the size of dogs to the giant athletic animals we know today.

"Because of the pandemic, we all became patients. We all became aware of diagnostic tools [and] therapeutic interventions. The level of awareness that exists now around this specific topic is very high, but it also translates into us being more aware of why it's important to be preventative. The mask is preventative, exercise in the post-pandemic world is preventative for heart conditions, and there's a much larger appetite now to start looking at how we can work together in partnership to identify those things that allow us to intervene early in order to prevent or to slow down any types of conditions that could happen to individuals and shift the narrative around how we approach healthcare in Asia. This is absolutely necessary because of the challenges that we face and it will be totally enabled by data and technology. So the tools for that exist. The biggest question really is how we start to implement them." - Ahmed Elhusseiny Fresh out of the studio, Ahmed Elhusseiny, the area head of the Asia Pacific in Roche Pharmaceuticals joined us in a discussion on how healthcare has been transformed in the Asia Pacific and what we have learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. We began Ahmed's career journey and continued with the story of Roche Pharmaceuticals in the Asia Pacific.

It's no secret, women's health has been traditionally underfunded. But the past few years have seen an upsurge in funding for women-led companies, thanks in part to efforts of companies like Springboard Enterprises, who've made it their mission to help drive innovation, research and investment in women's health. In this new episode of Voices for Women's Health, Teresa Graham – Head of Pharma Global Products Strategy (GPS) at Roche Pharmaceuticals – sits down with Springboard Enterprises CEO, Natalie Buford Young, for an empowering discussion around women's health and the need for greater equity in research and funding. Springboard Enterprises has been supporting women entrepreneurs in technology and life sciences for decades, working tirelessly to close the gaps in women's health by providing greater funding and research to women-led companies. “From a funding perspective, the venture capital industry is still predominantly male. There's only 13% percent of women in leadership roles and venture capital. That means that when you are a woman innovating in women's health and you're approaching a venture capitalist and trying to explain the latest pelvic floor solution, or something around menopause or maternal care. It's not that they don't care about it. It's that everyone invests in what they know, and they just don't know these areas.”Natalie Buford Young, CEO of Springboard Enterprises

Even with innovations to medicines and treatments, how the pharmaceutical industry interacts with patients and customers has largely stayed the same for decades. But one company is breaking through the push and sell method with a large-scale digital transformation to disrupt the industry. Davidek Herron, Global Head of Digital at Roche Pharmaceuticals, believes that all companies can—and must—undergo digital transformations to provide value to their customers. Instead of simply doing things how they've always been done, companies in all industries must focus on finding gaps and adding value for their customers. As with everything, customer experience needs to be central to digital transformation. The goal should be to provide seamless experiences and to make it as easy as possible for customers to do business with the company. Herron recommends companies start simple by understanding who their customers are and what they need. This requires really talking to customers and being open to their feedback and suggestions. Companies must understand the feedback and data they get from customers, including how they are capturing it and what they will do with it. Herron believes companies have to be able to measure if they want to be effective. Once companies understand their customers, they can start to build core digital infrastructures. Knowing their customers allows companies to deliver the right messages at the right time and makes companies and customers partners instead of a one-sided sales relationship. Most companies understand the need for digital transformation, but many are overwhelmed at the thought of completely overhauling their organization. Herron recommends simplifying the transformation by first setting a goal and vision. He recommends under-promising and over-delivering. Leaders must set the tone and be clear about where they want the company to go. With that goal and common cause, the company can start with quick digital wins to show the value of the transformation and gain momentum for further changes. Herron says one of the most important things for a digital transformation is to have the right people in place. Having employees who are motivated and are willing to go the extra mile to solve problems improves morale and keeps the company moving forward. Even with all that is involved in digital transformation, finding and retaining top talent should be a priority for leaders. If the pharmaceutical industry can change with digital transformation, all companies can change. Digital transformation doesn't have to be complicated. Setting a vision, understanding customers and getting the right people in place can put companies on the path to lasting transformation. _______________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future.

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the show. Today's topic is How Learning and Development is Adapting to the New World of Work. My special guest today is Tom Edgar, Learning Visionary at Roche Pharmaceuticals. He's someone whom I've known for many years as we crisscrossed paths in the pharmaceutical world. In this episode, we also talk about: The future of work, Why learning needs to change, Shifting the accountability to the learner, Learning from your network, Diversity of thought, and a whole lot more. Don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts! Give people fish, or teach them to fish? Probably the biggest failure is when you're under the crunch, it's so much faster to give that advice as opposed to actually stopping and asking the right questions and allowing it to bring that out. I can honestly say that there are times, even today, that you really have to stop yourself from falling into – I know you interviewed Michael Bungay Stanier not too long ago around that – “advice trap”. But if you take that to the learning side of things – and I think this is probably where I have developed, it is really from that learning state – is it actually to, to use the old adage, give people fish or teach them to fish? The quick way might be to just give them the fish, but in the long run you're really not doing them any favors. So from the long-run perspective, it's better to take the time to ask those questions and to really draw out and let those individuals learn because it's going to benefit them more in the long run. Becoming self-directed learners I think we need to see a shift in accountability to the learner. We talk about adult education and how it differs from educating kids, and I think we really need to take that to heart, not just as learning and development practitioners, but also as employees and as people who are going to have to become continuous, self-directed learners. I think it was Wayne Gretzky who said, “Great hockey players go not where the puck is, but where it's going,” and I think you really need to take accountability and say to yourself, “What is it that I want? What is it that I need from a knowledge perspective to be able to go to where the puck is going?” The content – that's another big piece of this. Again, you look at how fast information is changing around us. The old way of doing things, learning and development, curating content, is not going to be fast enough. We can't create courses, we can't create materials fast enough o be able to me the needs of learners, so learners have to be the ones to curate the content as well. Diversity of thought The old way is there's a tried, true and tested way of doing things, so that was the hierarchical approach to business – this is just the way we do things. In old business, that makes a lot of sense. In today's world, things are moving so fast. In order to be agile, we need to be more open to different ideas. Your way of doing something might be a right way, but is it the best way? Is it the fastest way? Is it the most cost-effective way? Is there a way we could do it better? Because that's going to give everybody a competitive advantage. To be honest with you, that diversity of thought comes from a learning perspective. It really is, “Are you curious about doing things differently?” Learning is going to evolve from this idea of, “I'm going to go to a course and I'm going to learn something and I'm going to implement it in my job.” Learning happens every single day on the job, and the companies that are going to succeed are the ones that can literally harness the power that comes out of learning every day and learning to do things better, faster. That comes through diversity of thought. If I'm not open to Sally's way of doing things because this is just the way we do it, I'm not going to innovate, I'm not going to get better and we're not going to find ways to do things better.

Welcome to The New Leader Podcast. I'm your host, Ian Daley. Today we're going to answer the question: How do you know you're ready for management? This episode is geared towards those who aspire to leadership roles but are not there yet, and are curious to know – how do you know when you're ready for that first management role? Today's guest is Catherine Rice, Vice President of Sales at Roche Pharmaceuticals, who has a great wealth of experience and knowledge in this topic. She is a highly effective and motivational leader who inspires improvement at district, regional, and national levels by driving performance and change management through tenets of simplicity, focus, and competitiveness. In this episode, we look at: Catherine's biggest failure and success as a leader How to know you're ready for management Going from “I” to “We” Being open to criticism, and a lot more. I hope you enjoy this one. Biggest Failure As a people manager, it's natural to want something for someone, but they don't necessarily want that for themselves. You can see potential in them, and you try to push, and you try to get them there, there's a lot of advice giving, but nothing's happening because they're not there yet. They may not have the self-awareness nor the desire to want what you potentially want for them. If you ask me the reverse question, what some of my greatest successes were was helping people grow and develop and get those promotions. The failures were not recognizing when someone had the roadblock up and didn't want it for themselves, or they just weren't there ready to change, but I was pushing them to do it when they weren't there yet. It was really hard, and I had to learn not to get frustrated. I would resort into becoming too much of an advice giver. “You should do this. How about you try this?” versus “What is it you want, and how can I help you get there?” From “I” to “We” For me, the number one thing is, “Are they ready to make that transition from it's all about me to it actually has absolutely nothing to do with me?” That's a key distinction if you're going to be a strong people manager. It's tough, especially in sales when you have high performers. I've done a lot of reading in this area, and if you look at any group, those who tend to be promoted and put into management positions are the people who are super strong, key contributors, or individual contributors. These are your top sales person, your best physician, your best office worker. If they're really good at their task, they tend to get promoted. However, do they have the skills necessary to be a great people manager, and can they make that transition from “it's all about me and my results” to “it actually is about the team and the team's results”? That's a key distinction, and people have to have an awareness of that. Being Open to Criticism If you find yourself being open to people being critical of you, then you're ready to be a people manager. As a manager, it's not just about you giving feedback – you're going to get it yourself, and sometimes you don't necessarily like what people have to say about you as a person. You're in a spotlight role as a people manager; you can't hide. So you have to be open to that. And some people are, and some people aren't.

In this episode, I spoke with the Swiss-based DigiPharm team who are trying to tackle some of healthcare’s most challenging problems, specifically in the pharmaceutical pricing and clinical trial space. Both the CEO, Ahmed Abdulla, and the COO, Girisha Fernando are co-founders of DigiPharm and have spent parts of their careers working at the 2nd largest global pharmaceutical company by revenue, Roche. Ahmed recently joined the Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business, part of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe as an blockchain expert in healthcare. Zach Daniels, DigiPharm’s CTO, also joins us from Denver, CO and he spoke about the specifics of DigiPharm’s anticipated technology. I apologize in advance for the sound quality of parts of this recording, there were periods of technical difficulty but we made it through and gets better as the conversation unfolds. Introduction of the DigiPharm team and company. History at Roche Pharmaceuticals. DigiPharm was one of the Pfizer Healthcare Hub top 10 finalists. Trying to frame the problem being solved in one sentence. Using smart contracts to deliver outcome-based agreement. Importance and increased use of real world evidence. ICO landscape. Swisscom partnership provides Digipharm with the necessary development resources. Offering patients better access to life-saving drugs that are still in clinical trials. Using dynamic pricing to let patients pay for the value they actually receive from a drug. Project Timeline.

Funke Abimbola is a senior lawyer for the world's largest biotech - Roche Pharmaceuticals. Outside of her day job, she spends a significant amount of her time campaigning for more diversity within the legal profession & wider business community as a whole.
Governments invest in higher education hoping to see short-term economic benefits in the form of job creation, knowledge mobilization, and increasingly, the launch of entrepreneurial new start-up businesses. In this week’s episode, Ken Steele provides a quick overview of college and university research commercialization, from the first research parks to the latest business incubators and accelerators. In many ways, academic culture is antithetical to entrepreneurship. Scholars and scientists are often perfectionists, conducting exhaustive research, consulting their peers for input and consensus, and avoiding career-limiting risks. Academic culture is centred around credibility, caution, and certainty. Successful entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are often shameless self-promoters, confident or even arrogant, first to market regardless of quality control, and frequently keeping trade secrets from their competitors. Many question whether modern schools are the right environment in which to nurture entrepreneurs or innovators. Typically, higher ed researchers transfer intellectual property to the private sector for commercialization. Last year, UBC licensed a potential treatment for drug-resistant prostate cancer to Roche Pharmaceuticals for more than $120 million. Corporations have been partnering with research universities since the 1950s, in research parks like the Stanford Research Park, established in 1951. By the 1970s, it was home to some leading high-tech research facilities, like Xerox PARC, and it is often credited with being the spark that created Silicon Valley. Google itself was a spinoff of the research of 2 Stanford grad students, and Stanford still holds some lucrative Google patents today. The largest university research park today is the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, collocated to serve Duke University, UNC, and NC State. 50,000 employees and 10,000 contractors work at RTP for major corporations including IBM, Cisco, and GlaxoSmithKline. But today, R&D is no longer the exclusive domain of major multinationals. A student or two with a good idea can take their business global in mere months, as Mark Zuckerberg did in 2004 when he launched Facebook from a Harvard dorm room. That’s probably what inspired the University of Waterloo to establish a “dormcubator,” the Velocity Residence, and 5 other branches of the incubator program including the Velocity Garage, the Foundry, Velocity Science, and more. uWaterloo Velocity video: https://youtu.be/vEbKt6Ho9z0 As North American employment is increasingly shifting towards startups and freelancing, business incubators have been multiplying. In the US alone, there are more than a thousand. California’s Y Combinator has funded more than 1,000 companies now worth $65 billion, and admission to their program is more competitive than Harvard or Yale. UBI Global, headquartered in Sweden, looked at more than 1,200 university accelerators and incubators to arrive at its ranking of the top incubators of 2015. First place went to England’s SetSquared Partnership, a collaboration between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey. With 6 sites at the 5 research-intensive universities, SetSquared has helped more than a thousand companies raise over £1 billion, and create 9,000 jobs. The #2 incubator in the world is the Innovation Incubation Center at Chaoyang University of Technology in Taiwan. The top university incubator in North America, #3 in the world, is the DMZ at Ryerson University. The DMZ has launched more than 180 companies, creating more than 1,000 jobs, and attracting $70 million in seed funding. Politicians and the business community praise the DMZ for creating better quality jobs, and harnessing the innovative capacity of the nation. Ryerson has launched other incubation zones, including the Fashion Zone, Design Fabrication Zone, ZoneStartups India, the Transmedia Zone, the Legal Innovation Zone, and the Social Ventures Zone.

Some academics question whether higher education should really be in the business of incubating businesses, but as more and more students graduate into a freelance and innovation economy, business incubators make sense as an extension of campus career services and research commercialization. If we want to prepare our students for successful futures and meaningful citizenship, they are going to require an entrepreneurial mindset.
Governments invest in higher education hoping to see short-term economic benefits in the form of job creation, knowledge mobilization, and increasingly, the launch of entrepreneurial new start-up businesses. In this week’s episode, Ken Steele provides a quick overview of college and university research commercialization, from the first research parks to the latest business incubators and accelerators. In many ways, academic culture is antithetical to entrepreneurship. Scholars and scientists are often perfectionists, conducting exhaustive research, consulting their peers for input and consensus, and avoiding career-limiting risks. Academic culture is centred around credibility, caution, and certainty. Successful entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are often shameless self-promoters, confident or even arrogant, first to market regardless of quality control, and frequently keeping trade secrets from their competitors. Many question whether modern schools are the right environment in which to nurture entrepreneurs or innovators. Typically, higher ed researchers transfer intellectual property to the private sector for commercialization. Last year, UBC licensed a potential treatment for drug-resistant prostate cancer to Roche Pharmaceuticals for more than $120 million. Corporations have been partnering with research universities since the 1950s, in research parks like the Stanford Research Park, established in 1951. By the 1970s, it was home to some leading high-tech research facilities, like Xerox PARC, and it is often credited with being the spark that created Silicon Valley. Google itself was a spinoff of the research of 2 Stanford grad students, and Stanford still holds some lucrative Google patents today. The largest university research park today is the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, collocated to serve Duke University, UNC, and NC State. 50,000 employees and 10,000 contractors work at RTP for major corporations including IBM, Cisco, and GlaxoSmithKline. But today, R&D is no longer the exclusive domain of major multinationals. A student or two with a good idea can take their business global in mere months, as Mark Zuckerberg did in 2004 when he launched Facebook from a Harvard dorm room. That’s probably what inspired the University of Waterloo to establish a “dormcubator,” the Velocity Residence, and 5 other branches of the incubator program including the Velocity Garage, the Foundry, Velocity Science, and more. uWaterloo Velocity video: https://youtu.be/vEbKt6Ho9z0 As North American employment is increasingly shifting towards startups and freelancing, business incubators have been multiplying. In the US alone, there are more than a thousand. California’s Y Combinator has funded more than 1,000 companies now worth $65 billion, and admission to their program is more competitive than Harvard or Yale.

It wasn’t long ago that diversity was about ticking boxes on a form and mandatory presentations for all employees. But a lot has changed since then and the prevailing approach to diversity has evolved beyond HR seminars. Organisations are now placing a high value on developing a corporate culture of inclusion. Michael Knierim, Senior Vice President and Global Head of HR at Roche Pharmaceuticals, discusses the value of diversity and inclusion.
Host: Paul Rokuskie Host Paul Rokuskie is joined by Drs. Declan Murphy and Will Spooren. Dr. Murphy is Professor of Psychiatry and Brain Maturation at Kings College, London, and Dr. Spooren is Group Leader of Behavioral Pharmacology at Roche Pharmaceuticals. Their topic for discussion is the large academic and industrial consortium known as European Autism Interventions, or EU-AIMS, which serves as a collaborative network bridging experts in autism across the spectrum of pharmacologic research and development.
