Welcome
Welcome to the California Biotechnology Foundation website.
California Biotechnology embodies the bold pioneering spirit of our state and is one of our most valuable resources. Biotechnology holds the promise of medical miracles. With more than 850 new medicines now in California’s research and development pipeline, our biotech companies are on the cutting edge of the next wave of medicines and devices that will revolutionize health care throughout the world. Through a wide range of workforce development programs and community contributions, the California biotechnology industry is also committed to strengthening, educating, and enriching our communities.
  Biotechnology breakthroughs are saving lives, reducing suffering and preventing or limiting costly hospitalizations and surgeries. Click here to find out more about the life-saving discoveries being made every day by California’s Biotechnology Companies.
Cures to diseases that were once considered a death sentence come at a significant price. On average it takes 15 years and costs 1.2 billion to advance one potential new medicine from a research concept to an FDA approved treatment.
