Neuroscience
Neurological conditions can cause people’s identities to fade over time. For the first time in history, Roche has the tools, technology and scientific insights that we believe will lead to new types of medicines that can alter or even reverse the trajectory of neurological diseases.

Challenge
Impacting millions
There are hundreds of nervous system disorders impacting people in Australia and around the world. Almost everyone knows a person affected by a neurological condition, which can have a profound impact on day-to-day life.1,2 Our innovative medicines and diagnostic tests continue to push the boundaries of scientific understanding, aiming to continuously improve patient outcomes worldwide.
A highly complex field
Nervous system disorders can create barriers that impact our ability to engage, to move, to remember and over time, can change or take away the unique qualities that make us who we are. Or in the case of disorders affecting children, who we may become. Over time, the physical, mental and emotional burden can be overwhelming. However, people with nervous system disorders face their challenges with bravery and determination.
Focus
Following the science
We are driven by the idea that the rigorous pursuit of ground-breaking science can transform the lives of people facing serious and life-threatening diseases. Roche is collaborating with academia, scientists, industry partners and clinical trial participants, and we are following the science to improve the lives of patients.
We are collectively pursuing major therapeutic advances for some of the world’s most difficult-to-treat diseases in the field of neuroscience.
Hope for the future
Neuroscience is a cornerstone of our future, but we cannot do it alone. Together, with our partners, we continue to push the boundaries of scientific understanding to achieve clinical advancements and solve some of the greatest challenges in neuroscience today. Our hope is to create a tomorrow where neurological disorders no longer limit human potential—to preserve what makes us who we are.
