Talk 1: Building a Collaborative Data Space for Multiple Sclerosis Research
Abstract: In this webinar, we will dive into Roche's first global industry-academia research collaboration built on a federated architecture. This pioneering initiative aims to facilitate access to broad and diverse patient data from both real-world clinical settings and clinical trials to explore how novel scientific concepts could be relevant for medical practice and novel endpoint development.
Speaker:
-Eric Boenert (Roche) Eric is the product manager for Federated Open Science at Roche.

Talk 2: Improving protein-ligand co-folding predictions
Abstract: The AISB Network addresses the scarcity of public protein-ligand structure data through secure, collaborative AI model training. The first initiative customizes OpenFold3 (an open-source AlphaFold3 reproduction) using proprietary protein-ligand complexes from participating pharma companies. We’ll present the experimental and federated computing set-up powered by NVFlare, scalability considerations, IP protection mechanisms, and collaborative training results.
Speaker:
- Robin Roehm (Apheris): Robin studied medicine, philosophy, and mathematics. He is now CEO and co-founder of Apheris, driving the direction of the business.
- Nicolas Gautier (Apheris) At Apheris, he works as an engineer, focusing on infrastructure, backend development, data science, and machine learning.
