Stephen Abreu Will Be Parting From The ITN

June 12, 2012

Dear ITN Colleagues – it is with great sadness that I must today announce that my friend and colleague, Stephen Abreu, has decided to resign his position as Industry Contracts Manager.  Stephen has decided to return to the practice of law in the setting of a prestigious SF based law firm where his work will continue to focus on agreements in the biologic sciences on behalf of their big Pharma clients.  His work here at UCSF, his training in the law, and his background in biological research positioned him quite wonderfully for this opportunity.   Stephen’s last day with us will be Friday June 15th.    While we recruit for Stephen’s replacement please feel free to forward your industry related activities to me.

As Industry Contracts Manager, Stephen has supported the Immune Tolerance Network, the UCSF Diabetes Center, the Department of Dermatology, the Department of Microbiology & Immunology and the individual faculty members working in these units.  He has been with us since January of 2010 and he has been a key contributor to everything we strive to do in support of these clients.  His knowledge, technical competence and professional manner have been invaluable to me and to all those we serve.   I’m sure that anyone who has had the opportunity to work with Stephen has come to appreciate his calmly effective style and professionalism as much as I.

Please join with me in wishing Stephen well as he embarks on this new challenge.

Good luck Stephen, you will be sorely missed!

-Kevin Kaier
