I am very pleased to announce that Dr. Alan Paau has accepted the
position of Director-Technology Transfer Office. Dr. Paau will replace
Dr. Martin Rachmeler, who is retiring from UCSD in January.

Dr. Paau is currently Executive Director, Iowa State University Research
Foundation, Inc., and Director, Intellectual Property and Technology

Dr. Paau has worked for over 22 years in research and development and
management of science and technology. In addition to his primary
appointments, he is an adjunct Professor in Microbiology, Immunology, and
Preventive Medicine at ISU.

Before going to Iowa State in 1994, Dr. Paau served for two years as
Associate Director of the Biotechnology Center at Ohio State University,
and spent 11 years prior to that in industry, primarily in research and
development. Dr. Paau received his doctorate in Biological Sciences from
the University of Houston, and was a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Winston
Brill at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Paau also holds an MBA from the
Cardinal Stritch College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Dr. Paau enjoys an outstanding reputation in his field as a leader and
innovative problem-solver. His extensive knowledge and experience will
serve us well in the coming years.
