The University of California, San Francisco considers the 10 year new, $3 billion Mission Bay campus to be its most important project in the school’s near 150-year history. The campus employs nearly 4,000 faculty members, staff and students working towards finding answers to tough questions in areas as diverse as cancer research and Alzheimers cures. The Mission Bay campus currently provides a research home to at least three of UCSF Nobel laureates.
The University of California, San Francisco Mission Bay Campus has a rich history in the medical and biotech fields. To celebrate 10 years since the campus's opening, the university created a video highlighting the Mission Bay campus's history:
