Deb Paris becomes the new Chief Department Administrator of Pharmacology

9:14 AM

Deb Paris
Deb was selected as the top job candidate following a national search and extensive interviews with representatives from the dean’s office, other basic science CDAs, members of our faculty, members of our office staff, and members of our research staff. I am looking forward to partnering with her in her new, official role. Deb will be presenting her vision to the faculty during our upcoming faculty meetings. She will work with our office staff and with the other basic science CDAs to maximize the efficiency of our administrative mission. She will also continue to work with our research staff to make ordering, purchasing, and management of our physical plant run as smoothly as possible.
 
Welcome, Deb!
