Jagath Reddy Junutula
Scientist - Cancer Targets, Genentech Research and Early Development (gRED)
In the lab, Jagath Reddy Junutula is hard at work helping to discover and develop novel cancer therapies and continuing to learn about the process of drug development specifically to help cancer patients. But he also takes time to enjoy all of the other experiences Genentech has to offer. "I've even managed and executed a Diversity Ho-Ho by the South Asian Network @ Genentech." Involvement with the Diversity networks is one of the main things Jagath recommends to new employees. "If you are new to the area, the company or both, this is one of the best ways to expand your network and meet people."
Jagath has also taken advantage of one of Genentech's many commuter benefits. "I live in the East Bay, and when Genentech introduced GenenBus, it helped me save two hours each day. Riding the bus gives me the flexibility to spend the time working, reading or relaxing instead of driving."
"The connections I've made here are extraordinary, from exceptional and inspiring colleagues to a strong network of friends and mentors who support me professionally and personally. I think that's the key to anyone's success — finding as many mentoring, networking and partnering opportunities that you can."
Connecting the Opportunities
After joining Genentech Research and Early Development (gRED) directly from Stanford University, Jagath Reddy Janutula set out to make as many connections at Genentech as possible and quickly found himself on a path that led to a wealth of opportunities.
