After the morning session, I jumped in a cab and went to UCSF’s Mission Bay campus<\/a> – it’s a 43-acre campus that was acquired at no cost<\/a> to the university and contains a number of laboratories, centers, and research institutes<\/a>. It’s quite large and is getting bigger: “”https:\/\/pub.ucsf.edu\/missionbay\/faq\/“>[a]bout 1,700 faculty, students, scholars and staff already work in the new UCSF<\/span> Mission Bay campus community. At full build-out, 9,100 people are expected to work and study at the new campus<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

I had a meeting with a professor in Genentech Hall<\/a>, a 434,000<\/a> square<\/a> foot<\/a> building where many of the chemical biologists work (there are also a number of structural, molecular, and developmental biologists in the building<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It truly is a beautiful building, and the entire campus looks like it’d be a great place to work – none of the grey\/dirty walls and strange odors found in older chemistry\/biochemistry bulidings… I’d highly recommend checking out the campus next time you’re in San Francisco – but security is pretty tight, so you might want to sign up for the tour<\/a>. In the meantime, click here<\/a> for the virtual tour…<\/p>\n
