Breaking Barriers And Inspiring Change

Patricia (Patty) Siguenza’s remarkable career journey defies conventional paths in the biotech industry. Born in El Salvador, Patty came to the San Francisco Bay Area at a young age, where she embarked on a path of academic and professional excellence. Patty's passion for biology and her unwavering determination propelled her from earning an Associate degree in Biology at the College of San Mateo to obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Clinical Science from San Francisco State University.

A Genentech employee for more than 36 years, Patty has achieved extraordinary success as Vice President of Bioanalytical Sciences.

She knew that in order to inspire change and create the same opportunities for the next generation there was a need to think differently and build systems to provide support. In 2017, Patty co-founded the Developmental Sciences Rotation Program, a two-year program that offers a highly selective group of recent college graduates with diverse backgrounds full-time employment at Genentech through four six-month rotations in different functions of Developmental Sciences. In 2023, Patty was honored as the “Trailblazer of the Year” by Women of Color in Pharma (WOCIP), recognizing her groundbreaking work and inspiring leadership.
