Roche Pharma India CEO Emmanuel said centers like GATE would also benefit the country by creating a knowledge base in emerging fields of data science, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
“Large volumes of unstructured data are produced today. They must be analyzed to obtain actionable information. GATE assists Roche in project management throughout the product lifecycle, including preclinical, launch, growth, maturity and decline. GATE also helps to better retain intellectual property, optimizing costs without compromising quality while building strong expertise in the talent pool,” he said.
