This is an initiative by the Knight Cancer Institute to have senior leaders spend an hour or two chatting with individual labs. We spent a lovely hour with Dr. Brian Druker. The conversation was informal and we talked a lot about the new building/strategic vision and how we can attract the best people in the world to come and work here at Knight.
