Passion for Biotechnology

My passion for biotechnology began while working in different capacities at my family’s business that manufactured silicone medical products (Sil-Med® Corporation).   I have served in a leadership capacity for several societies (RES, IEEE, BMES, and EMBS) and have served on the Board of Directors for regional organizations (RES, and MedTech) with ties to the biotechnology sector across Upstate NY.  In this capacity, I have helped to organize several large scale biotechnical events. Most recently, I serve as the Executive Director for the Center for Medical Technology & Innovation at the University of Rochester within the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
