Author Biographies
Jennifer Probst is a Masters student in Computational Biology and
Bioinformatics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Alongside her studies, she
has contributed as data scientist to several global research projects;
including LAMAVE, Archipelagos Institute of Marine Conservation,
the University of Zurich and Hawk Mountain Sanctuary Association.
The past nine months she has been working as data science intern in
the Formulation & Process Sciences section at Roche in support of the
Digital Transformation initiative.
Kevin Ly is a bioinformatics Ph.D. student at the Wellcome Sanger
Institute affiliated to the University of Cambridge. During two years
at Roche, he contributed to the Digital Transformation in the Pharma
Technical Development; first as a data science intern in the Formulation
& Process Sciences section and subsequently as a data science engineer
in the Real-Time Monitoring team. In his roles, he automated manual
analytical processes by streamlining data pipelines and incorporating
data science tools.
Valentin Legras is a clinical pharmacology data scientist at Roche in
Basel, Switzerland. After spending some years with Sanofi and Novartis, he
joined Roche in 2020 as the first data science intern in the pharma technical
development department. In support of the digital transformation,
he mainly worked on databases, data reporting, automation and
digitalization of the tools. Currently, he focuses on pharmacokinetic and
pharmacodynamics clinical data, data reporting and data preparation.
Avinash Murthy is a senior scientist at Roche in Basel. He joined Roche
in 2014 after obtaining a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the
University of Texas at Austin. During his almost nine years at Roche, he
has worked on various drug development programs in drug product
formulation and process development, with a particular focus on latestage
development. Recently he has become the process development
squad lead within the department.
Ana Filipa Borges is a senior scientist at Roche in Basel. Her background
is in Pharmaceutical Sciences but she specialized in Pharmaceutical
Technology during her Ph.D. She spent five years at Bluepharma Group's
innovation unit developing new dosage form platforms for oral delivery,
followed by two years in PCI Pharma and two years in Novartis as
Product Formulation Lead. After 2.5 years as Senior Scientist in Roche,
she has had the opportunity to follow product development from the
scratch to the market, and become the Digital Transformation lead
within the department.
Dr. Patrick M. Piccione is a senior principal scientist at Roche in Basel.
He spent seven years in materials development at Arkema, followed
by nine years at Syngenta. There he led process engineering science,
as well as a " maths & data science " initiative. Over the last 3.5 years,
he has acted as the Pharmaceutical R&D department's sponsor for the
Digital Transformation. As such, he oversaw the creation of a variety
of IT & data science tools through the internship program described
