The biggest biotech firm in the world welcomed the Government’s first minster for life sciences to its UK headquarters.
George Freeman MP, right, visited Roche Diagnostics’ head office in Burgess Hill to promote the government’s commitment to new medical technologies.
Roche is a leader in research-focused healthcare as well as pharmaceuticals and diagnostics and employs 300 skilled staff in Sussex – 250 in Burgess Hill and 50 in Newhaven.
It is also a world leader in in-vitro diagnostics and tissue-based cancer diagnostics and diabetes management.
Mr Freeman said: “The Government is committed to embracing new medical technologies in the NHS – working with global life science companies like Roche Diagnostics to bring NHS patients access to 21st century medical innovations. Fast, precise and advanced diagnostics such as those being introduced from Burgess Hill are key to modern healthcare.”
