Incubators as Key to Biotech’s Success • Los Angeles County has an emerging biotech cluster including 100+ companies. • Amgen, the biggest biotech company in the world, is located just outside the
western edge of the County in Thousand Oaks • Past successes:
– Diagnostic Products Corporation (sold to Siemens in 2006 for nearly $2 billion) – Cougar Biotechnology (sold to J&J in 2009 for nearly 1 billion) – Abraxis Biosciences (sold to Celgene in 2010 for $4 billion) – One Lambda (sold to Thermo Fisher in 2012 for nearly $1 billion)
• Recent successes – MannKind (which got FDA approval for inhaled insulin in 2014) – Kythera Biopharma (which won FDA approval for its double-chin drug Kybella in
2015. Company is acquired by Allergan for $2 billion)
• The overwhelming majority is still in the R&D phase. Notable companies: – Astellas Pharma, ArmagenTech, C3Jian, Claremont Bio, DxTerity Diagnostics,
Emmaus, Epeius Biotech, ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Kite Pharma, Liquid Genomics, Molecular GPS, Nanthealth, Nantcell, Nantbiosciences, Puma Biotechnology, Ritter Pharmaceuticals, Synedgen, Xencor.
• Nearly half of the County’s biotech firms is made up of early-stage ventures housed in seven incubators: – The future of biotech in Los Angeles rests in part on the success of these
incubators in nurturing startups and help them move to the next level.
