Leadership Team

Roche was founded in 1896 in Basel, Switzerland by Fritz Hoffmann-La Roche at a time when the industrial revolution was changing the face of Europe. He was among the first to recognize that the industrial manufacture of medicines would be a major advance in the fight against disease.

Genentech was founded in 1976 as a biotechnology company dedicated to pursuing groundbreaking science to discover and develop medicines for people with serious and life-threatening diseases. Genentech’s transformational discoveries include the first targeted antibody for cancer and the first medicine for primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

In 2009, Genentech became a member of the Roche Group–now the largest biotechnology company in the world. Genentech's South San Francisco campus now serves as the headquarters for Roche pharmaceutical operations in the United States.

Our History Who We Are

Our Purpose

San Francisco, California Genentech employed 13,500

people in the US in 2020

Basel, SwitzerlandThe Roche Group is active in over

100 countries and employed 98,000 people worldwide in 2020

We have always worked to drive scientific discovery and redefine what is possible to improve patients’ lives. We are working on understanding how diseases differ down to the molecular level to develop new tests and medicines that prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that matter and bring them to the patients who need them. With our combined strengths in diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, our personalized healthcare strategy aims to fit the right treatment to the right patient.As the world’s largest biotech company, we develop breakthrough medicines, improving the standard-of-care across oncology, immunology, infectious diseases, ophthalmology and neuroscience. This track record allows us to build lasting and meaningful partnerships across the world with research academia and public healthcare institutions. The founding families continue to hold the majority stake in the company. This stability allows for a tradition of sustainable thinking, so we can learn from setbacks and focus on lasting value for patients and society. We remain dedicated to the highest standards of quality, safety, and integrity. Our legacy is based on respect for the individual, the communities and the world we live in.

We commit ourselves to scientific rigor, unassailable ethics, and access to medical innovations for all. We do this today to build a better tomorrow. We are proud of who we are, what we do, and how we do it. We are many, working as one across functions, across companies, and across the world.

We believe it is urgent to deliver medical solutions right now – even as we develop innovations for the future. We are passionate about transforming patients’ lives. We are courageous in both decision and action. And we believe that good business means a better world. That is why we come to work each day.

Our Fellowship Components

The mentorship program pairs fellows with experienced mentors currently on their study team either within Genentech or Roche

The mentorship program aims to give fellows continued career guidance and professional development through the collaborative efforts of Genentech and Roche

This provides the fellow with additional support in their day-to-day activities outside of their co-fellows & preceptors

At Genentech, we prioritize the development of each fellow. Our fellowships are structured to maximize exposure to various roles within industry, specifically

within the fellow’s chosen functional area. Certain fellowships offer a rotational opportunity during the fellow’s second year in order to gain hands-on

experience in an additional functional area of interest.

Locations that fellows have rotated in the past:

Pharmacists NetworkNetwork with other PharmDs at Genentech Roche was one of the 1st companies to partner with RPIF

There are 50+ RPIF Alumni currently employed at Roche Genentech

Many preceptors & Fellowship Leadership Team members are RPIF alumni & are actively engaged

All fellows gather at Rutgers once monthly as a group to participate in the Professional Development Day (PDD) Series, an important component of their training that complements the hands-on experience provided at the partner companies. The PDD’s are steered by a committee of fellows and are designed to enhance the fellows’ presentation skills, emotional intelligence, promote connectivity and a sense of community among fellows from different companies and disciplines, develop new skill sets under the guidance of external trainers, and provide general knowledge about various aspects of drug development and issues facing the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.

The fellows learn from each other through individual and group presentations and debates on topics and issues related to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. This dynamic forum provides an opportunity for open discussion and debate among fellows, Rutgers faculty, and company preceptors. In addition, outside experts provide training and professional development in a variety of areas (e.g., tools for corporate success; professional writing, presentations, meeting facilitation, negotiating, influencing, networking, and conflict resolution skills; giving and receiving feedback; and business and dining etiquette). Other PDD guest speakers include senior industry executives, patient advocacy groups, and successful RPIF Program alumni who share their insights and experiences. Importantly, PDDs provide an excellent opportunity for fellows to interact with each other and develop lasting personal friendships and a strong professional network of fellows, faculty, alumni, and other industry executives.

Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships

Ernest Mario School Of Pharmacy Rutgers, The State University Of New Jersey

The State University of New Jersey, the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and two pharmaceutical companies began a collaborative pilot program to evaluate the potential contributions of clinically-trained pharmacists within a pharmaceutical industry practice setting. Following the successful pilot, the Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship (RPIF) Program grew significantly and expanded to include 21 companies within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries and over 250 fellows annually. In 2002, Dr. Ernest Mario generously provided an endowment to establish the Institute for Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships to enhance and promote the role of pharmacists in industry through the RPIF Program. The Institute staff members:

• provide leadership and administrative support;• promote quality, communication, and scholarly activity; and• arrange specialized fellowship training opportunities within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries.

Recently in 2018, our program has expanded to offer interdisciplinary fellows’ training by adding select physician fellowship opportunities to our well-established program.The RPIF Program has thrived under the leadership of the founder, Dr. Joseph A. Barone, Dean and Professor II of the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and Dr. Lesley Fierro the Director for the Institute for Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships. More than 1000 post-doctoral fellows have completed the RPIF Program, most of whom are pursuing influential and rewarding careers in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries throughout the US and abroad. The RPIF Program has preceptors/mentors from industry who share their knowledge and experiences with the fellows through an intense but closely guided training program. Assignments and projects are challenging, meaningful, and designed to enhance understanding of the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries and the fellow’s functional area.
