Sincerely,
Jerry Brown
Governor ofCalifornia
Letter from the GovernorCalifornia has a unique history of innovation: from agriculture to the film industry to information technology tolife sciences. As a group, Californians have repeatedly devised new technologies, and better ways to use oldtechnologies, to solve some of the world’s most intractable problems.
As the birthplace of biotechnology, California prides itself on the innovation born in the life sciences in particular.Genomic technologies help us detect disease, while new therapies and devices help treat them. Biofuels provideclean, sustainable energy that will ease our dependence on foreign sources and help solve climate change. Digitalhealth technologies help prevent disease and give patients better tools to manage their conditions.
The California Life Sciences Association is an important partner in our efforts to foster a stronger biomedicalindustry and boost job growth in California. This state is committed to supporting this critical sector, botheconomically and through strong public policy. Life Sciences is a cornerstone of California’s economy and I lookforward to working with leaders in this sector as we continue to contribute to a healthier society, strengthen oureconomy and advance new medical technologies.
Sincerely,
Letter to StakeholdersWhen people envision a vibrant life sciences community, they think of California. It beginswith the state’s public and private research universities and institutes, which produce ahighly trained scientific workforce, invaluable insights into human biology and world-changing research.
In some cases, these breakthroughs might be developed into a product – a drug that targetsa cancer-driving protein, for example. A pharmaceutical, biotechnology or medical devicecompany licenses the intellectual property, or the researchers find investors and createtheir own start-up. Years and millions of dollars later, the treatment may enter the clinicand improve patient care.
California succeeds because the state’s political, academic and business leaders are committedto a strong life sciences ecosystem. Smart policy decisions have played a role in continuedsuccess. Because the state has long supported higher education, California produces morebiology and engineering PhDs than any other state.
In 2004, when national policy shifted away from stem cell research, California votersapproved Proposition 71, which funded the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine(CIRM). This commitment led to groundbreaking basic and translational research, acceleratingstem cell therapies into clinical trials and making California the epicenter for stem cellresearch.
By most measures, the California life sciences industry is strong and growing. There are3,040 life sciences companies, including industry-leading global corporations, entrepreneurialstartups and everything in-between. California’s life sciences industry directly employsmore than 287,000 people, generated $147.7 billion in revenue in 2015 and has 1,269medicines – and even more devices and diagnostics – in the pipeline to boost patient care.
This report lays out the many strengths that define the life sciences in California, but thework must continue. Few industries can do so much to improve quality of life. We mustcontinuously renew our commitment to these efforts.

California’s life sciences community continues to grow, with3,040 life sciences companies – 192 more than the previousyear – producing new technologies and boosting the state’seconomy. In 2015, the Golden State’s life sciences industryemployed more than 287,000 people. This highly trainedand diverse workforce helped develop novel drugs, devicesand diagnostics, while also exploring other applications,such as leveraging biotechnology to produce sustainableenergy.
Life sciences companies have been incredibly successful.As of September 7, 2016, 1,269 drugs from Californiacompanies were in the FDA pipeline. In 2015, 264 newdevices developed by California companies were approved.
In addition, these companies produced more than $147billion in revenue, received $4.4 billion in venture capitalfunding, drove $22 billion in exports and paid $15.6 billionin federal and California state and local taxes.
Academic excellence, forward-thinking public policy andthe commitment of thousands of entrepreneurs and businessleaders has translated into new ways to address some of theworld’s most severe medical conditions: cancer, hepatitis,HIV, rare diseases and many others. These efforts helppower our economy, support job creation and improve healthfor millions around the world.

Producing Drugs, Devices, Diagnostics andDigital Health Technologies
Even more importantly, the total number of therapies in clinicaltrials continues to grow, ultimately providing more choicesfor patients and physicians as they work to overcome disease.
One of the many strengths of California’s life sciencescommunity is its eagerness to embrace new ideas. The digitalhealth sector is only a few years old, but is showing tremendouspotential to improve care.
Innovative digital technologies can keep congestive heartfailure patients out of the hospital, help patients comply withtheir drug regimens, support treatment for PTSD and muchmore. California companies lead the nation in attractingventure capital (VC) investment for innovative digital healthtechnologies.
Great ideas often begin in academic labs as scientists researchhuman biology and look for better ways to diagnose andtreat disease: a new marker to track cancer progression; aunique molecule that controls an aberrant protein; a digitaldevice that helps patients better manage their heart disease.
California’s life sciences community does an excellent jobat moving these ideas out of labs, through various regulatoryprocesses and ultimately to patients. In 2016, Californiabiopharmaceutical companies had 404 therapies in the FDApipeline for cancer, 134 for infectious diseases and 129 forcentral nervous system disorders. Similarly, the state’smedical device sector saw 264 products successfully throughthe FDA: 10 premarket approvals (PMA), 250 510(k)clearances and four de novo’s.

Driving Economic GrowthCalifornia has a strong and diverse economy, powered byinformation technologies, agriculture, energy, tourism andthe life sciences. Second to life-saving products, excellentjobs may be the biomedical community’s greatestcontribution to the state. In 2015, California life sciencescompanies employed more than 287,000 people, a twopercent increase over 2014. These jobs ran the gamut fromacademic research to bioengineering to wholesale trade.
Even more impressive, the industry generated 597,000indirect and induced jobs, bringing the total to 884,200.In addition, the average wage for California life sciencesemployees topped $116,000 and total wages exceeded$33 billion.
While biomedical growth has been historically stronger inthe San Francisco Bay Area and San Diego, new,entrepreneurial companies are becoming more prevalentin Los Angeles, a trend that could bode well for the region(see Los Angeles insert).

Attracting Major InvestmentsBecause California companies have such a strong trackrecord of translating lab science into products that helppatients and consumers, the state has long been a magnetfor investment. As in past years, California was the top statefor life sciences venture capital (VC) investment in 2016*with $4.4 billion: $3.3 billion in biotech and $1.1 billion inmedical devices. Massachusetts was second with $2.9 billion.The life sciences are second only to software in Californiafor VC funding.
Across biotech, investment declined in later-stage companies,but increased dramatically for seed stage startups. Medicaldevice investment also increased at seed and early stage.
VC investment in digital health in 2016* was significant at$1.6 billion, but declined from $2.1 billion in 2015. Still,California led the nation, more than doubling New York’s$730 million. These investments funded wearables andbiosensors, consumer health and wellness technologies,digital diagnostics, devices and therapies and other areas.
Mergers and acquisitions slowed considerably through earlySept. 2016 to 46, compared to 99 in 2015. Life sciences IPOsalso declined to three, compared to 25 in 2015. Thesenumbers reflect weak national M&A and IPO markets.

Emerging Los AngelesFor years, the Bay Area and San Diego have been the twopoles of California’s entrepreneurial life sciences culture.Despite its size and strength in entertainment, agricultureand other sectors, Los Angeles has remained relativelyquiet. The city is starting to play catch-up and has madehuge progress in the past few years.
“We’re where San Francisco and San Diego were 20 yearsago,” says Shlomo Melmed, MD, executive vice presidentof Academic Affairs and Dean of the medicalfaculty at Cedars-Sinai.
Melmed points to several factors that may havepreviously slowed LA’s emergence: expensivereal estate, no central research hub, fewacademic medical centers. UCLA and USCgraduates have created startups – they’ve justdone it elsewhere.
“Los Angeles metro area produces more biologygraduates than any other city in America,” saysLlewellyn Cox, PhD, who founded Lab Launch, a biotechincubator network based in Monrovia. “But all these UCLAand USC spinouts seem to start up in San Francisco or SanDiego. Lab Launch was born out of the frustration ofwatching our friends leave town to start businesses.”
This disparity has not gone unnoticed. Led by SupervisorMark Ridley-Thomas, the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors recently earmarked $3 million to fund anotherbioscience incubator, LA BioMed.
Cox is excited by the general business dynamism in LosAngeles and sees life sciences startups plugging into LA’sexisting industries, such as agriculture.
“Look at cellular agriculture,” says Cox. “The technologyis biotech but once you have a product, you’re in the food
industry, your partners are going to be foodpeople.”
At a different level, Cedars-Sinai has been spinningoff companies from its research for more than 30years, developing a test to detect viruses in donatedblood, heart imaging software and therapies forinflammatory bowel disease. Their tech transferhas shown continuing growth.
Despite the relative dearth of startups, Los AngelesCounty employs around 20 percent of California’s
life sciences workforce. Both Cox and Melmed anticipatecontinued expansion.
“I think there’s going to be tremendous life scienceinvestment in population health management: software,accounting, patient management,” says Melmed. “Cancerwill drive it because of our large, aging population and highcancer incidence growth rate.”

Keeping California on TrackThe life sciences sector is an incredibly valuable asset forCalifornia. While the focus is life-saving medical technologies,that is hardly the limit of the industry’s impact. Researchersand companies are also working on new ways to providesustainable energy and increase the world’s food supply.
The life sciences directly employ more than a quarter of amillion people in California, providing economic benefits forcommunities and the state as a whole. These jobs are diffusedto communities throughout the state.
Factor in the investments life sciences companies and academicinstitutions attract – through venture capital, NIH grants andother sources – and we can see the immense value theseorganizations bring to our state.
However, as strong as the life sciences enterprise may be inCalifornia, we must never forget that this is an incrediblycompetitive sector. The state must continue its longstandingtradition of supporting world-class educational institutionswhile encouraging a more business-friendly environment.We must continue to nurture the biomedical innovation thathas made the Golden State a life sciences powerhouse.
We are committed to working with state and nationalpolicymakers, industry leaders, patient groups and otherstakeholders to ensure that patients have access to excellent,
affordable care. That means reducing the barriers that keepcutting-edge medicines away from patients, streamlining thetherapeutic pipeline and safeguarding intellectual property.
In addition, we must continue to support the Brain Researchthrough Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN),Precision Medicine and other exciting research initiatives.By championing innovation, we can measurably improvehuman health and quality of life.
