发帖数: 2953 | 1 Alphabet, Google's parent company, is known for its aggressive approach to
hiring top computer engineers. Now, it has its sights set on poaching top
talent from life sciences and health care.
Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page have stressed in the past that
Google will not become a health care company, in part because of the
regulatory complexity associated with the field. But today, three of
Alphabet's "Other Bets" are focused on the $3 trillion sector. Both of its
venture arms, GV (formerly Google Ventures) and CapitalG (formerly Google
Capital) are also investing in the space.
Sidewalk Labs is perhaps the most surprising. The Alphabet subsidiary, which
aims to use technology to solve "big urban problems," this month posted new
job listings for health care positions, including a engineers, a chief
health officer (a primary care physician) and a head of community health for
an effort called "Care Labs." Not much has been shared publicly about Care
Labs, aside from a Medium post that spells out a big vision to imagine "how
care delivery might look in the digital era."
Alphabet's Calico, a drug development shop focused on longevity, and Verily,
which was Google's life sciences arm, and have also hired heavily from life
sciences and health care.
The company's star talent in the field so far includes Arthur D. Levinson,
former CEO of Genentech and an Apple chairman, who is Calico's CEO; Tom
Insel, the former head of the National Institute of Mental Health, who is at
Verily; and Jessica Mega, a star cardiologist at Harvard Medical School and
Brigham and Women's Hospital, now at Verily.
Alphabet is currently looking to hire computational biologists, robotics
experts and top academic researchers, which are among the most competitive
positions to hire.

Competitors in the life sciences industry have mixed feelings about Alphabet
's recruiting.
"Of all the tech companies, Alphabet has been most prominent in establishing
new operations in life sciences," says Cynthia Yee, a principal at health-
focused fund Windham Venture Partners.
"In the short-term, we'll see some biotech and health startups struggle to
match the salary and compensation that an established company like Alphabet
can offer," Yee said.
She said several of the startups in her firm's portfolio have already lost
key talent to Alphabet, but she declined to provide specifics. It might
benefit the industry in the long-run, she says, if Alphabet steps up to
acquire life sciences startups or seeks out partnerships. Verily has already
announced a string of partnerships with industry giants, including
GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, and Sanofi.
Steve Kraus, a biotech investor at Bessemer Venture Partners says the life
sciences industry will get more nervous if Alphabet starts recruiting
heavily in their backyard. Alphabet's companies are headquartered in Silicon
Valley, rather than in Boston and Cambridge where life sciences companies
have deep connections to the science and engineering departments at Harvard
and MIT. "I worry about the war for talent," he says. "Alphabet will make a
real go of it, but if there's power in a cluster."
Others, like biotech executive and geneticist Sabah Oney from start-up
Alector believe that Alphabet's interest in the space is a "net positive"
overall. "I've seen so many smart scientists get offers to consult or join
Google for real money," he says. "Scientists are so underpaid and
undervalued, so the competition can only be a good thing | c*********e
