California Life Sciences (CLS)

CLS Urges Governor Newsom to Honor Commitment to California Innovation, Restore Full R&D Tax Credit Instead of Raising Taxes. Read our full statement:

CLS Board members are on the Hill with a message: MFN drug pricing threatens the innovation that has made California a world leader in patient care. Congress needs to hear from our community. #MFN #LifeSciences

Thank you @RepVinceFong and @JayObernolte for meeting with CLS members today. Your leadership for patients and innovation doesn't go unnoticed. 🙏 #CALifeSciences #Innovation

CLS Board members are on the Hill today advocating for patients and innovation. Grateful to @RepKiley @RepLiccardo for the conversation and commitment to California's life sciences community. #LifeSciences #CAInnovation

California's life sciences ecosystem is the envy of the world. But our leadership isn't a given — it has to be protected. Great conversation at Progress Seminar featuring CLS CEO Mike Guerra, Fergus O’Shea of @Genentech, Betsy Ricketts of @Ultragenyx, @DianePapan and @RepKevinMullin on San Mateo County’s rich biotech history, and the path forward. #LifeSciences #Biotech #SanMateoCounty

California is the world's leading life sciences ecosystem — and today's ribbon cutting at @Biogen's new West Coast Hub in South San Francisco is a testament to exactly that. Congrats, @Biogen! 🔬 #CALifeSciences #CaliforniaInnovation #LifeSciences #Biotech

On Friday, @CalLifeSciences and @Genentech brought together life sciences leaders & policymakers to celebrate 50 years of California biotech innovation. Thank you to @RepKevinMullin, @SenJoshBecker, @AsmDianePapan, @AsmMarcBerman & @Scott_Wiener for joining us! 🧪 #CALifeSciences #Biotech

From morning meetings to an evening reception, #MedTechLobbyDay w/ @AdvaMed brought us together around one goal: policy that supports the innovations redefining medicine. #CAInnovation #MedTech

Keeping CA at the forefront means policy that supports innovators. Thank you @AsmChrisWard and @AsmDianePapan for your commitment to getting groundbreaking MedTech to patients—helping them live longer, healthier lives. 🌱 @AdvaMed #MedTech #CaliforniaInnovation #CALifeSciences

CA is the envy of the world—and MedTech Lobby Day made that clear. 🌎 Leaders from @Intuitive, @Cerevia, @AstraZeneca, @BD, and @Edwards showed how AI is transforming patient care—from the operating room to the neurology clinic to the oncology lab. 🦾🧠🫁 @AdvaMed #MedTech

⚠️ Antitrust proposals on mergers and acquisitions that are being put forth by the CA Law Review Commission will halt breakthrough treatments and cures. CLS' Ben O'Brien talks to Politico Pro about the "existential risk" they pose to innovation. subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter/202…

"No family should have to fight both a rare disease and a system meant to support them." — Dr. Pedro Sanchez, Director of Pediatric Clinical Genetics at @CedarsSinai That's the California we're fighting for. Let's end prior authorization for rare diseases @AsmRickZbur

Sacramento has seen advocacy before. It has never looked quite like this. Watch to see the power of the rare disease movement in action. 🎥⬇️ #RareDiseaseDay #CALifeSciences #RareDiseaseAdvocacy

At a recent CA Legislative Tech Caucus meeting, @BDandCo , @iRhythmTech, and @Masimo demonstrated how AI-powered medtech is transforming patient care — and why CA is the global leader. Thank you to @AsmAhrens and @ASM_Irwin for bringing policymakers and innovators together.

CLS was proud to join @EveryLifeOrg and rare disease advocates in Washington, D.C. this week for #RareDiseaseWeek — supporting patients and families as we work to make a difference in their lives. 💜 #RareDisease #LifeSciences

Rare disease patients wait years for a diagnosis — then face insurance denials. California is the birthplace of biotech. Our patients deserve to access the therapies developed right here. #AB1887 makes that possible. → Watch this weeks press conference: youtube.com/live/p-Q95MEMg…

Congratulations to our 2026 Legislators of the Year, @AsmDarshana and @SenSusanRubio. Thank you for your commitment to California's life sciences ecosystem and the patients who depend on it. 🏆 #CaliforniaLifeSciences #ChampionsReception

For rare disease patients, the road to diagnosis is already long. Insurance red tape shouldn't stand between them and FDA-approved treatment. CLS is proud to partner with @AsmZbur as he advances AB 1887 this legislative session. #RareDisease #CALeg
