NEW
FEATURE!
OUR GRADUATES - WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW
Drs.
Thomas Conrads and Brian Hood, former graduate students
of the OSBP who both earned their Ph.D.s under the
direction of Dr. Russ Hille, recently established a new
laboratory housed in the Hillman Cancer Center at the University
of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI). Dr. Conrads joined
the Faculty of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
as Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology
and Co-Director of the Clinical Proteomics Facility in the
UPCI. Dr. Brian Hood, after working with Dr. Conrads when
he was director of the mass spectrometry laboratory at the
National Cancer Institute, was recruited as a Senior Research
Scientist to assist with the initiation and implementation
of their efforts in clinical proteomics.
