RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The University of Cincinnati HTS lab completed 15 screens in 2011. During the 6 years of my leadership the HTS lab completed over 70 screens. The HTS lab provides screening for a fee and has collaborated with scientists from the University of Cincinnati Faculty, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, other US Universities (3 in other states), 4 Companies (1 in Europe), and the US Military. The lab has included one to three scientists reporting to Dr. Nelson over this period.
