I joined Genentech after a 25 year career in academia as the Head of Immunology at Washington University and as an HHMI investigator. I got to know Genentech during a six-month sabbatical where I worked with the Oncology and Structural Biology groups studying protein kinases. I saw first hand the high quality of science that is performed at Genentech and how smart the people are and how well the company is organized both for innovative science and discovery and the implementation of discoveries to develop innovative and novel treatments. For someone like me, who has been interested in translating basic science to a better understanding and treatment of disease, I can’t think of a better place than Genentech. The opportunities at Genentech are so great, I didn’t hesitate to take the opportunity to join this company.
