On May 23, 2013, UCSF hosted a celebration of PBBR’s 15th anniversary at our Mission Bay campus. A packed auditorium of scientists and philanthropists gathered at Genentech Hall for the event, which included a provocative panel discussion on the state of high-risk scientific research. Michael Krasny, host of “Forum” on KQED radio, moderated a lively talk featuring then-Chancellor Susan Desmond-Hellmann, MD; Joe DeRisi, PhD; Anita Sil, MD, PhD; and Nobel laureate Alfred Gilman, MD, PhD. The event also paid tribute to the late Marion O. Sandler, one of PBBR’s founding philanthropic partners and visionaries.
