California State Senate Honors 50 Years of Biotechnology
On April 9, 2026, the California State Senate adopted Senate Resolution 88, presented by Senator Catherine Blakespear, celebrating two landmark milestones: 50 years of modern biotechnology and the 20th anniversary of the California Biotechnology Foundation. California is the birthplace of modern biotech — from recombinant DNA and CRISPR to CAR T-cell therapies and the vaccines that helped end a global pandemic. Today, life science is the state’s second largest industry, supporting more than one million jobs and hundreds of billions in economic activity.
