| | FIFTY NEW COMPANIES JOINED OUR COMMUNITY |
|
| | Since opening on May 1st, fifty biotech startups have joined our newest campus at 1030 Brittan in San Carlos. They’re tackling everything from developing therapeutics for vision loss in the elderly, to regenerating limbs and organs, tuning mitochondrial biology to slow aging, and restoring immune function in cancer patients receiving immunotherapy. Others are discovering safer pesticides with AI, creating optimized human enzymes and novel proteins to make healthier foods taste better, building AI-powered discovery platforms, developing wearable biosensors, and even filtering sperm to prevent genetic diseases.
It’s a privilege to work alongside so many brilliant, driven scientists; so much creativity and energy under one roof is inspiring. MBC is proud to provide a place where these teams — oftentimes with limited resources, but extraordinary resolve — can turn ideas into impact. |
