Reed A. George
BIOGRAPHY
Reed George will direct the campus's shared resource laboratories, including the microscopy facilities, the instrument design facility, and the molecular biology laboratory. He will also be responsible for materials management and environmental health and safety. George says Janelia Farm's cross-disciplinary approach to science's important questions brought him to Virginia from Berkeley, California, where he was a senior program manager for the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project, running the project's DNA sequencing operations and its technology development group. He was also a founding partner of a biotechnology consulting business in northern California. George has a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of South Florida and a master of technology management from the University of Phoenix. Prior to transitioning into the life sciences in 1997, George was a principal staff engineer for Motorola.
