Gilead Sciences, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company that has pursued and achieved breakthroughs in medicine for more than three decades, with the goal of creating a healthier world for all people. The company is committed to advancing innovative medicines to prevent and treat life-threatening diseases, including HIV, viral hepatitis, COVID-19, and cancer. Gilead operates in more than 35 countries worldwide, with headquarters in Foster City, California.

B357 Pilot Plant is used for cGMP manufacturing of small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients to support early phase clinical trials. Among other activities, we are working on long-acting HIV drugs to partner with lenecapavir. Our pilot lab has non-commercial capabilities (-70 deg C), small reactors of varying sizes, since we need to be flexible in partnering with research. We have multiple projects running at once in different labs.

B355 houses Process Chemistry Labs where we create safe, robust, economical, and sustainable processes to supply high-quality active ingredients for the medicines we deliver to our patients. High-Throughput Experimentation (HTE) is a great tool for exploration, and it creates a significant amount of data. We would like to share a HTE lab, since opening in July we’ve carried out 2000 experiments covering 13 programs with 1.5 FTE. Transportation is provided.

Important Notice: Attendees will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Registration is limited to 50 attendees. Bus trip to facility is approximately one hour.
