  • Event: Genentech's The Impossible Bet: The Bay Area Story That Changed Medicine
  • Description: Join Genentech at KQED’s studio headquarters for an evening about the unlikely Bay Area story that helped launch modern biotech and rewrote the rules of science. Featuring a screening of 'The Impossible Bet,' a new documentary film produced in collaboration with T Brand Studio, the content studio of New York Times Advertising, the evening will explore the people, places and trailblazing spirit of discovery behind Genentech’s South San Francisco roots. From a bold idea sketched on napkins to the birth of a new industry, the story traces how a culture of curiosity, risk-taking and bold experimentation continues to inspire what comes next.
