I am in San Diego for a week and decided to visit the Histogen HQ today. Nice green Disney/Pixar type logo sign outside, but did not see a receptionist at the main entrance. Building was nothing special and part of an office complex. Took the elevator to the second floor (first floor seemed to have nothing in it unless I went in through the wrong door) and a girl came out of the main office on the second floor and asked me what I wanted.
I said I wanted to apply for a job if they have any openings. She went back in and I took a couple of photos of the lab (very cool to see a lab in an office) and of the outside of the president's office with his name tag (David Nassif) on the wall. I could only take the photos from outside a glass barrier as they obviously would not leave the door open for a stranger to get into the lab!
Girl came back and told me that there are no jobs available, a bad sign for a company that is supposed to grow like crazy if any of its breakthroughs pan out. I asked her if she worked there and she nodded in the affirmative, and I said she was very lucky, which pleased her.
Nothing exciting to report of course, and maybe I will post the two pics later when I get back home to Seattle.
Maybe I should have been bolder and asked to talk to Mr. Nassif since his office door was open, although I could not see inside it from where I was waiting. I thought I was already quite nosy and obtrusive, and didn't feel like pushing my luck.
