Mike Mathews ( photo )Turnover in scientific staff is to be expected in a rigorous and dynamic scientific research institution such as Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.This year , after more than two decades at Cold Spring Harbor , senior scientist Mike Mathews left us for the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey ( UMDNJ ) in Newark , where he accepted a position as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.Mike arrived here in 1974 as an early member of the tumor virus group and was studying diverse aspects of regulation of gene expression in recent years.I was most fortunate to work with him as a Postdoctoral Fellow when I first came to the Laboratory and I wish him well in his new position.Also , Venkatesan Sundar Sundaresan left after ten years of plant research with us.Sundar was instrumental in establishing the current plant genetics research program at the Lab.
