Singapore, March 26 -- Roche has announced the inauguration of the new research home for the Institute of Human Biology (IHB). The opening marks a significant milestone in Roche's strategy to unlock the transformative potential of human model systems to revolutionise the future of drug discovery and development.

IHB leverages human disease biology, computational biology and translational bioengineering to pioneer advanced systems that replicate human disease biology with unprecedented precision. Bringing this diverse expertise together across multidisciplinary projects allows scientists the chance to generate sophisticated models, such as complex cultured tissue samples, organoids, microfluidic 'organ-on-chip' technologies and in silico ...
