Bayer U.S. Innovation Center starts its operations in Mission Bay

January 11, 2011. The U.S. Innovation Center of Bayer HealthCare’s pharmaceutical division has started its operations in San Francisco’s Mission Bay life sciences hub. At the same time the company announced a master agreement for research collaborations with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). "Bayer chose San Francisco as the site for its U.S. Innovation Center because of the leading role this area’s research community plays in life science discovery,” said Andreas Fibig, chairman of the board of management of Bayer Schering Pharma AG, Germany. “The master agreement with UCSF sets the stage for a long and successful public-private partnership which builds our pipeline and brings novel medicines to patients.”

Bayer is expanding its collaborative relationships with academic and life sciences firms in California and in other major scientific networks in the U.S. through a dedicated team of scientists at the U.S. Innovation Center. The “Science Hub” team is charged with identifying and facilitating collaborations in the areas of Bayer HealthCare’s research focus Oncology, Cardiology and Hematology, Women’s Healthcare, Diagnostic Imaging, and beyond. "Master agreements like this help smooth the path for innovative research projects that translate academic research into improved patient care,” said UCSF Chancellor Susan Desmond-Hellmann, MD, MPH. “This agreement will help researchers at Bayer and UCSF collaborate on a broad range of projects to that end.” The U.S. Innovation Center also houses scientists who drive Bayer’s hematology research program focused on coagulation factors and the discovery of novel biologic drug candidates. A 65-member research team is currently working at the Innovation Center. Bayer’s U.S. Innovation Center is located at 455 Mission Bay Boulevard South. Bayer will occupy approximately 49,000 square feet of leased lab and administrative space. By locating the Innovation Center in Mission Bay, Bayer’s scientists are in the heart of a growing biomedical research community and in state-of-the-art labs.
