Today is my last day being a laboratory scientist/technician. I was a tech for 20+ years doing research that included production of monoclonal antibodies, HIV viral vectors, and GMP grade viral gene therapy vectors. Now I will move on to being a laboratory manager in the Microbiology Department at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai. Below are some photos of me and my colleagues through out the years, starting with IAVI in Brooklyn, New York. First we were at Suny Downstate, then we moved to the BAT (Brooklyn Army Terminal), where Elvis got shipped out to war. It was a huge space on the 8th floor, and I had my own cubicle then we moved on to shared office spaces. Moving toward the BAT was definitely a trek. As soon as I left IAVI, NYC started operating water ferries, and one of the ferry stops was right behind the building! So I missed out on a water ferry commute with less time and beautiful views of NYC bridges. Below are some images of the BAT. We did so much together. Holiday parties, birthdays, baby showers, events, salad club, work outs, etc were a handful of things we did together. I also invited them to my wedding. You can read about my experience here on the blog back in Jan 2017, when I left IAVI.
I moved on to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai were I was a lab tech making antibodies for the department. I worked with Madhu, Tom Moran, Tom Kraus and Andy for 5 years. In August of this year, we moved to the west side with a roof top and a view of the Hudson River. But now it is time to go back to the main campus and start something new.
