Genentech Foundation for Biomedical Sciences The Genentech Foundation for Biomedical Sciences is an independent, nonprofit organization that supports biomedical education and research in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Foundation supports educational programs at junior high and high schools, colleges and universities, museums, and community organizations that foster science education for local students, including underrepresented minorities and underprivileged groups, and other relevant community outreach.

"For nearly two decades the Genentech Foundation for Biomedical Sciences has invested millions of dollars into educational programs that spark discovery and imagination in our future health science leaders. We have new programs this year, as well as tried and true science education programs that continue to demonstrate a passion to expand the scientific knowledge of Bay Area students, most with an eye on increasing student's long-term commitment to biomedical sciences."
