Experience
Director, R & d Immunology
May 2006 — Present
PhD in Immunology. I originally trained as a Biophysicist at The Weizmann Institute, Rehovot, Israel; switched gears mid course; taught myself immunology; got the expertise I needed by being at the right place and the right time- more a case of \"chutzpah\" than \"luck\". Currently evaluating vaccine responses in cancer patients.
