maintain the resources needed to provide an effective supply chain. . In
addition to inventory control and meticulous record keeping and analysis, Mark
will work with other department managers and coordinate with our affiliates at
the University of Rochester on all capital equipment purchases.

management, fast decisions, and firm control of detail, all things that Mark is
experienced in.”
