Lab Staff

Our Values

Excellence

We value innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit, the ability to think “outside the box;” we take reasonable risks to achieve breakthroughs.

Synergy

We are one Lab, with cooperation and teamwork fostered throughout our institution. By working together, the sum of our joint efforts exceeds that of our individual programs and projects.

Integrity

We hold to the highest level of integrity in our scientific endeavors and communications. Honesty, accountability, and candor are required in interactions among staff at all levels.

Respect

Our culture is inclusive; all staff members are valued partners and have clear opportunities for personal and professional growth. We treat each other as respected colleagues, and we extend this ideal to our interactions with all stakeholders in the Lab, including the general public.
