About the company
Advances in AI, data, and computational sciences are transforming drug discovery and development. Roche’s Research and Early Development organisations at Genentech (gRED) and Pharma (pRED) have demonstrated how these technologies accelerate R&D, leveraging data and novel computational models to drive impact. Seamless data sharing and access to models across gRED and pRED are essential to maximising these opportunities. The new Computational Sciences Center of Excellence (CoE) is a strategic, unified group whose goal is to harness the transformative power of data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist our scientists in both pRED and gRED to deliver more innovative and transformative medicines for patients worldwide.
The Opportunity
At Roche’s AI for Drug Discovery (AIDD) group (Prescient Design), We are building state-of-the-art foundation models and scalable systems to fundamentally transform how large and small molecule therapeutics are designed.
We are looking for exceptional machine learning scientists who want to perform high quality research at the intersection of machine learning, structural biology, and physical sciences to directly accelerate drug discovery.
In this role, as a ML Scientist you will:
● Design and train foundation models at scale to answer challenging research questions in large-molecule drug discovery and protein engineering.
● Leverage massive structural biology and biophysical datasets, building novel architectures that capture complex geometric and physical priors.
● Contribute to publications and present scientific findings at internal and external venues.
● Solve real, pressing problems in drug discovery that enable new portfolio capabilities
