Biotech Hub Powers SSF Economy: Photos Of The Day

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The City of South San Francisco bills itself as the birthplace of biotechnology, with the founding of Genentech in 1976. "Today, South San Francisco is home to one of the largest biotech clusters in the world," the City reports on its website. "Over 250 biotech companies and 12 million square feet of biotech space form the anchor of South San Francisco’s economy."

The region's universities — including Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCSF — continually feed new talent to the companies.

Thank you to Claus Weisemann, who works in Biotech City, for sharing these photos.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.
