For more than 40 years, we've been following the science, seeking solutions to unmet medical needs. As a proud member of the Roche Group, we make medicines to treat patients with serious medical conditions.We are headquartered in South San Francisco, California.
Since its founding in 1976, the company's research organization has focused its drug discovery efforts on therapies that would fill unmet needs, and Genentech has brought multiple novel biotherapeutics to market in the areas of oncology, immunology, ophthalmology, and metabolism.
As part of the merger with Roche in March 2009, Genentech became the headquarters for all Roche pharmaceutical operations in the United States, and products that were previously marketed by Roche are now being marketed by Genentech in the United States.
