Johnson & Johnson said it opened a nearly 200,000 square-foot research and development facility in the San Francisco Bay Area in a bid to increase collaboration with companies in the region.

The new facility will house up to 400 employees, more than doubling the R&D presence of Johnson & Johnson in the Bay Area, the company said Tuesday.

Research at the new site spans efforts to discover new treatments, RNA-based therapies, new approaches for infectious diseases, among other efforts, Johnson & Johnson said. It said co-locating its experts at the site will help expand its discovery pipeline.
