San Diego’s biotech story began when research institutions such as the Salk Institute, Scripps Research, and the University of California San Diego were founded between 1955 and 1965 on Torrey Pines Mesa. Today, this concentrated scientific hub houses more than 600 life sciences companies and 80 research institutes, employing about 50,000 people in well-paying jobs. The San Diego region directly employed 75,816 workers and contributed $56.6 billion in total economic output in 2023, making it one of the world’s most productive biotech clusters.
The region hosts world-class entities including UC San Diego, the Salk Institute, the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, Scripps Research, and West Health spread along roughly two miles of North Torrey Pines Road, alongside research facilities for major pharmaceutical companies such as Novartis, Pfizer, and Vertex.
