University of Louisville Employee Reviews for Research Director

What do you like about working at University of Louisville?

"I was Research Director and free to follow any path I chose in the area of pathogenic bacteriology (germs, as it were). I devoted most of my time to discovery. I got to publish my work, connect with other like-minded scientists, and attend major conferences twice a year. I had many good kids come through my lab; some geniuses. I had fun with the crew we had in our lab."

What don't you like about working at University of Louisville?

"It was a top-notch hospital, but administration did not know how to deal with research. I had to fight hard for my stake in the commercialization of my inventions. Their evolution to an institution that supports technology transfer was slow in coming. Everyone is pleasant now that the R&D is moving forward to clinical trials."
