     This prospectus supplement is not complete without, and may not be delivered or used except in connection with, the accompanying prospectus. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as well as the information incorporated herein and therein by reference, before making an investment decision.

RISK FACTORS

     Investing in our common stock involves risks. Before purchasing our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks included in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarter Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as the same may be updated from time to time by our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

DILUTION

     If you purchase our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.

     Our net tangible book value at March 31, 2007, was $44.0 million, or $1.25 per share, based on 35,064,032 shares of our common stock outstanding. After giving effect to the sale of 1,000,000 shares of common stock by us at an offering price of $7.75 per share, less our estimated offering expenses, our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2007 would have been approximately $51.7 million, or $1.43 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.18 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $6.32 per share to investors in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Offering price per share						$	7.75
Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2007		$	1.25
Increase in net tangible book value per share after this offering		$	0.18
Net tangible book value per share after this offering						$	1.43
Dilution per share to new investors						$	6.32

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We are selling 1,000,000 shares of our common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus directly to Sigma-Aldrich Corporation (“Sigma”). We have entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “purchase agreement”) with Sigma for the full amount of the offering. The purchase price in the offering is $7.75 per share, which represents the average of closing prices of our common stock for the last thirty (30) trading days ending on the date immediately prior to the date of the purchase agreement. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Sigma agrees, for a period of 180 days following the date of the purchase agreement, not to sell, offer to sell offer, hypothecate, pledge, announce the intention to sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock without our prior written consent. A copy of the purchase agreement is included as an exhibit to our current report on Form 8–K that we filed with the SEC in connection with this offering.

     We expect that the sale of 1,000,000 shares will be completed on or about July 13, 2007.

     Our transfer agent for our common stock is Computershare. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SGMO”.

LEGAL MATTERS

     The legality of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement has been passed upon for us by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, San Francisco, California. As of July 2, 2007, members of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP beneficially owned a total of approximately 413,026 shares of our common stock.

     The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of securities.

STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

     Some statements contained in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus are forward-looking with respect to our operations, research, development and commercialization activities and financial condition. Statements that are forward-looking in nature should be read with caution because they involve risks and uncertainties, which are included, for example, in specific and general discussions about:

	•		our strategy;
	•		product development and commercialization of our products;
	•		clinical trials;
	•		revenues from existing and new collaborations;
	•		our research and development and other expenses;
	•		sufficiency of our cash resources;
	•		our operational and legal risks; and
	•		our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and any other statements that are not historical facts.

     Various terms and expressions similar to them are intended to identify these cautionary statements. These terms include: “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “seeks,” “should” and “will.” Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in those statements. Factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Risk Factors.” Sangamo undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this prospectus. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus.

ABOUT SANGAMO BIOSCIENCES, INC.

     Sangamo BioSciences, Inc. is developing a new class of human therapeutics. We are a leader in the research, development, and commercialization of DNA-binding proteins for the therapeutic regulation and modification of disease-related genes. Our proprietary technology platform is based on the engineering of a naturally occurring class of proteins referred to as zinc finger DNA-binding proteins (ZFPs). We believe that ZFPs can be targeted to virtually any gene in the human genome or the genome of any other organism. Our scientists use engineered ZFPs to make ZFP transcription factors, or ZFP TFs^TM, which are proteins that bind to DNA and are able to turn genes on or off. Additionally, ZFPs may be engineered to create zinc finger nucleases, or ZFNs^TM. Engineered ZFNs can be used to cut genomic DNA at a pre-selected sequence location, enabling ZFN-mediated disruption of genes that facilitate or are responsible for disease pathology, correction of genes that contain disease-causing mutations, or the targeted addition of a selected DNA sequence.

     We were incorporated in June 1995. From our inception through December 31, 2006, our activities related primarily to establishing and operating a biotechnology research and development organization and developing relationships with our corporate collaborators. Our scientific and business development endeavors currently focus on the engineering of novel ZFPs for the regulation and modification of genes. Our revenues have consisted primarily of revenues from our corporate partners for ZFP TFs and ZFNs, contractual payments from strategic partners for research programs and research milestones, and Federal government research grant funding.

     Our principal offices are located at 501 Canal Boulevard, Suite A100, Richmond, California 94804, and our telephone number there is (510) 970-6000.

RISK FACTORS

     An investment in the securities offered through this prospectus involves certain risks. You should carefully consider the specific risks set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and under the caption “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, incorporated by reference herein, before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also affect our business operations. To the extent that a particular offering implicates additional significant risks, we will include a discussion of those risks in the applicable prospectus supplement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     Except as may be otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement accompanying this prospectus, we will use the net proceeds we receive from sales of the securities offered hereby for general corporate purposes, including support for our continuing research and development, commercialization activities, business development activities, and, if opportunities arise, acquisitions of businesses, products, technologies or licenses that are complementary to our business.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We may sell the securities being offered by us in this prospectus:

	•		directly to purchasers or investors;
	•		through agents;
	•		through dealers;
	•		through underwriters; or
	•		through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

     We and our agents and underwriters may sell the securities being offered by us in this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions:

	•		at a fixed price or prices which may be changed;
	•		at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
	•		at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
	•		at negotiated prices.

     Offers to purchase securities may be solicited directly by us, or by agents designated by us, from time to time. Any such agent, which may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth, in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     If an underwriter is, or underwriters are, utilized in the offer and sale of securities in respect of which this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement are delivered, we will execute an underwriting agreement with such underwriter(s) for the sale to it or them and the name(s) of the underwriter(s) and the terms of the transaction, including any underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation of the underwriters and dealers, if any, will be set forth in such prospectus supplement, which will be used by the underwriter(s) to make resales of the securities in respect of which this prospectus and such prospectus supplement are delivered to the public. The securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be sold by the underwriters from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

     If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     If an agent is used in an offering of securities being offered by this prospectus, the agent will be named, and the terms of the agency will be described, in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, an agent will act on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

     If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or their agents to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase our securities pursuant to contracts providing for payment

and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others. In all cases, these purchasers must be approved by us. The obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which that purchaser is subject and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, we must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery. Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

     Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents utilized by us in any offering may be customers of, including borrowers from, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or one or more of our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled, under agreements which may be entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     Until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission may limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members, if any, to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, the representatives of the underwriters, if any, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the securities in accordance with Regulation M, but only in the case of a fixed-price offering. Such transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.

     If underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering thereof (i.e., if they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement), the representatives of such underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market. Any such representatives also may elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of any over-allotment option described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

     Any such representatives also may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those shares as part of the offering thereof.

     In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a syndicate short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might otherwise be in the absence of such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security by purchasers in the offering.

     Neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any representation that the representatives of the underwriters, if any, will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

     The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering. The securities offered by this prospectus may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange or a foreign securities exchange. We cannot give any assurances that there will be a market for any of the securities offered by this prospectus and any prospectus supplement.

THE SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

     The descriptions of the securities contained in this prospectus, together with the applicable prospectus supplement, summarize the material terms and provisions of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any securities the particular terms of the securities offered by that prospectus supplement. We will also include in the prospectus supplement information, where applicable, about material United States federal income tax considerations relating to the securities, and the securities exchange or market, if any, on which the securities will be listed.

     We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, one or more of the following securities:

	•		common stock; and
	•		warrants to purchase common stock.

     These securities may be offered and sold from time to time for an aggregate offering price not to exceed $50,000,000.

     This prospectus may not be used to consummate a sale of securities unless it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

     We may issue warrants to purchase common stock. The warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to or separate from the other securities. Each series of warrants may be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrants will be evidenced by warrant certificates. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, the warrant certificates may be traded separately from the common stock with which the warrant certificates were issued. Warrant certificates may be exchanged for new warrant certificates of different denominations at the office of an agent that we will appoint. Until a warrant is exercised, the holder of a warrant does not have any of the rights of a holder of our common stock and is not entitled to any payments on any common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

     The prospectus supplement relating to a series of warrants will describe the specific terms of the warrants including the following:

	•		the title of the warrants;
	•		the aggregate number of the warrants;
	•		the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued and the currency in which the price for the warrants may be paid;
	•		the price at which and the currency in which the common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants

			may be purchased band the various factors considered in determining that price;
	•		the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire and whether the exercise of warrants will be at the option of holders, at our option, or automatic;
	•		whether the warrants are exercisable by payment of cash, surrender of other securities, or both;
	•		provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price of the warrants;
	•		if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
