New Year, New Biotech Jobs in San Diego

Guardant Health announced it is adding 112 jobs in their new space in Torrey Pines. The company develops blood tests for cancer diagnoses. They chose to expand in San Diego, due to the talent of its growing biotech industry and outstanding graduates of UC San Diego. They plan to open in March.

"We're hiring, frankly, at a frenzied pace and to be able to get that concentration of talent, there is only a few places across the United States that have that," chief executive Helmy Eltoukhy said in an interview.

Guardant will be searching for laboratory workers at all levels, software engineers, and bioinformatics professionals. It also plans to open positions in business development, quality, marketing, and regulatory affairs.
