Whether he was your colleague, supervisor or mentor, you easily 'caught' his fever for collaboration as the key to accelerating research innovation.

Though Chris’ leadership will be deeply missed, we wish him all the best as he shares his remarkable collaborative spirit with the fortunate folks at Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research - beginning this August.
