DOT: What do you think about the current direction of
SFRBM wishes to express its gratitude to the following institutions and
translational research?
companies that ensured the success of SFRBM 2015.

To truly make an impact on human health requires that

we are constantly mindful of how our indings, even the INNOVATIVE RESEARCH

smallest of our discoveries, can potentially be translated (A minimum $5,000 contribution to support Annual Meeting Programming)

in human medicine. Thus, from my perspective, the

shifting paradigm toward translational research is

worthwhile and necessary. However, I challenge that we

must also be ever mindful of protecting our technologies

and our intellectual property such that medicine can

actually beneit from our science. As academics, the

commercialization process may not seem scholarly, but

without it, our indings will simply fall short of achieving

“bench to bedside” translation.

DOT: What are your hobbies outside the laboratory?

Gardening and hiking.
