In celebration of their 30th anniversary, Genentech (check out their domain name, is that perfect or what?) has donated $2.5 million to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). The gift will be used to establish the Genentech Center for the History of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology at the CSHL Carnegie Building where genetics research got its start. The work of molecular biology pioneers will be archived at the Center:

James D. Watson
Sydney Brenner
Barbara McClintock
