Gilead goes against the grain

Gilead Sciences Inc. plans to nearly double the office and R&D space at its Foster City headquarters as it adds 1,900 jobs there over 10 years.

Gilead, which opened a 63,260-square-foot lab building on the Vintage Park campus last fall, would increase its Foster City workforce from 1,200 in 2007 to 3,100 in 2017, according to its plan.

Gilead has more than 3,200 employees worldwide and expects to double its workforce in Seattle and Durham, N.C., over the next 10 years as well.
