At Pharma Research & Early Development (pRED) in Basel we are more than 1800 dedicated scientists, clinicians, engineers and technicians from almost 60 nations, sharing the passion for developing and bringing new and effective medical solutions to patients. World-class science and talents are combined to drive medical innovation.

At the Basel site, employees work in the fields of Oncology, Neuroscience, Infectious Diseases, Rare Diseases, and Ophthalmology, joined by colleagues from research & clinical operations, research informatics, and our strategy group. Also based in Basel are our development groups which represent the range of expertise needed to run clinical trials, including clinical research and exploratory development, clinical science, safety science, and regulatory affairs.

A new home is currently being built for pRED - the new Roche Innovation Center Basel - as part of the Roche Basel site. As of 2024, we will bring our research community, which at the moment is distributed all over the Basel site, under one state-of-the-art roof.

The Roche Innovation Center Basel is a place where innovation happens to ensure a sustainable flow of medical solutions that address the unmet medical needs of patients. Our research labs and offices are currently distributed all over the Roche site in Basel.

As of 2024, our colleagues will work under one roof: in the new pRED Center which we are currently building in Basel. The new pRED Center aims to provide flexible and state of the art workplaces where collaboration and communication are raised to the next level.


The Roche Innovation Center Basel is also home of The Institute of Human Biology (IHB), dedicated to research on human biology and human model systems such as organoids. Roche Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development (pRED) established the IHB to take maximum advantage of the scientific and research expertise in both academia and the pharmaceutical industry, it will bring them closer together using human model systems to better predict a drug’s validity, and so translate pioneering science into breakthroughs for patients.
