ANNOUNCEMENTS
NIH APPROVES TRANSFER OF INBRE DIRECTOR TO DR. JOCELYN KREBS
The NIH has appointed Dr. Jocelyn Krebs, previously INBRE Co-I, as the Alaska INBRE Principal Investigator and Director. The appointment has been pending since Dr. George Happ announced his retirement this past summer. This appointment is unprecedented in Alaska with Dr. Krebs having a joint appointment at UAF and UAA. The Vice Chancellor of Research at UAF, Dr. Buck Sharpton, and the Provost at UAA, Dr. Michael Driscoll, came together making this the first such statewide appointment.
This past summer the INBRE External Advisory Committee met with the Chancellors in Anchorage as part of their annual trip to Alaska. Chancellor Frank Ulmer (UAA) and Chancellor Brian Rogers (UAF) met with the committee and determined that the best appointment for INBRE would be a true statewide position.
