Expert Imaging Lead, CVRM

A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love. That’s what makes us Roche.

The Expert Imaging Lead is based in the Digital Endpoints and Patient-Centered Solutions (DEPCS) team, the innovative imaging science, digital health, and measurement technology function within Roche Product Development Data Sciences (PDD). Operating across the Science of Medicines and Operations, DEPCS is responsible for embedding advanced medical imaging, patient-centered endpoints and AI-enabled measurement tools into the fabric of clinical development. By integrating imaging science, data science, and digital product thinking, DEPCS delivers scalable and regulatory-ready innovations that enhance trial design, accelerate decision-making , and maximize clinical value of Roche medicines.

The Expert Imaging Lead, Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism (CVRM) plays a pivotal role in advancing the strategic and scientific application of imaging across our CVRM pipeline. Operating within DEPCS, the Imaging Lead, CVRM serves as the primary scientific and strategic liaison for imaging solutions, ensuring alignment with molecule and program goals, clinical and regulatory requirements, and enterprise innovation priorities.

The role bridges Medical imaging science, Pharmaceutical Drug Development,and Advanced Analytics/AI,to design fit-for-purpose, scalable, and regulatory-ready imaging strategies. Collaborating closely with The TA Lead in DEPCS and Digital and Patient Centred Outcomes Research leadership, as well as cross-functional teams and external partners, the CVRM Imaging Lead builds multi-year imaging roadmaps that elevate endpoint precision, protects data quality, and drives asset differentiation, improving the probability of technical success within the CVRM pipeline.
