Our Family of Friends

Shruthi and Mallory at Pho Chau.  A few days after this picture was taken Mallory drove out to Bakersfield, CA to teach a genetics course for a semester.  She likes to live on the edge though - she was still doing mouse experiments until the last minute, and classes in CA are scheduled to start on Jan 4th!  Shruthi is having a lot of success with her oncolytic virotherapy company, Omnis Pharma (http://www.omnispharma.com/#!team/c1olq).  As Chief Scientific Officer, she is spending some time with their collaborator at AstraZeneca (!) in California, and just got her first royalty check.  

Chris and his son Alex at Forager Brewery.  Chris was working at Omnis's sister company, Imanis Life Sciences in Rochester but decided that wasn't working out.  So, he continues to do referee for national soccer matches while his wife finishes up her fellowship at Mayo.  

 

Aaron Wulff, Caleb and Liam.  Martha is working as a middle school teacher, and Aaron is looking for job and taking care of two very active little kids.  

 

New Years at Uma's.  Uma is now officially on staff - 90% research, and 10% clinical - she actually has an office on the same floor as the Barry Lab. 

Nadia (13 mo) and Mina (15 mo).  Nadia is showing Mina how to eat blueberries by the fistful

Dan is still working with Kelly, his business partner, to come up with a unique coffee device. So we even snuck in some time for some clandestine coffee experiments.  These are three different roasts, brewed in two different ways.   

The day after we returned to NY we managed to catch up with Mehma and Aarti at the Indian restaurant in Port Washington.  They were only in town for a couple of hours, but it was nice to see them.
