As has been previously announced, 2018 saw the departure of long time Administrative Director, Dr. Ruth Gotian. Though we took the news with heavy hearts, we are excited to see Ruth move on to new and exciting positions here at Weill Cornell Medicine.
In August of 2018, Catharine Boothroyd, PhD, joined Tri-I as the new Administrative Director. This marks the beginning of an exciting new era for the Program and a return to the Tri-Institutional campus for Catharine, who earned her PhD and did a post-doc at Rockefeller.From Dr. Boothroyd:
