From Humble Beginnings to Biotech Giant
The story of Genentech begins with Herbert Boyer, a brilliant biochemist, and Robert Swanson, a savvy entrepreneur. Driven by an unwavering belief in the potential of recombinant DNA technology, they joined forces to create a company that would harness the power of biotechnology for the greater good.
In its early days, Genentech operated out of a cramped laboratory in South San Francisco. However, their unwavering determination and scientific prowess soon yielded remarkable breakthroughs. In 1978, they achieved a scientific milestone by successfully producing human insulin using genetically engineered bacteria. This breakthrough marked the first time that a protein had been synthesized in a living organism, opening up unprecedented possibilities for treating diseases such as diabetes.
