    第一个面试

    找工作进入第二个月,今天终于得到一个面试。

    晚上老婆要从希腊开会回来,下午就没有安排很多事,坐在实验室里发呆。突然电话响起来,心想找我的肯定是中国人,很大声地喊了句“喂”,没想到对方一阵叽哩呱啦,听不太懂,后来才弄明白是我申请的一个工作。我本来以为先要电话面试一下,没料到只是确定我还在找工作的过程中,就要我过去直接面试了。

    这是我申请的第一个实验室,Genentech公司的Napoleone Ferrara,意大利人,讲话特别难懂,好在我以前rotation的时候在Ambra Pozzi那里受过训练。提起他的贡献来,应该是如雷贯耳,我一直觉得如果他不是在公司,肯定已经得诺贝尔奖了。八十年代,他发现了VEGF,九十年代,他做了VEGF的抗体,经过十几年的开发,2004年VEGF的抗体Avastin获得FDA通过,成为第一个抑制肿瘤血管的药物。目前Avastin是Genentech最赚钱的药物,2008年卖了27亿美金,不知道Napoleone Ferrara能分到多少^_^

    面试应该是十一月份,等我回来再讲一下面试的情况,现在的任务是把他的所有重要论文再看一遍,顺便将整个angiogenesis的领域再理解一番,免得到时被大牛羞辱。

    找工作还没有很积极,上个月分两批共投了八个实验室,绝大多数杳无音讯,弄得我不知道怎么办好,因为其实最想去的实验室不是很多。这个月还要再寻找一批小牛,如果还是没有进展,大概就留在纳什维尔了。

    Avastin商业化非常成功,所以虽然疗效相对还有争议,但是相对其他的VEGF药物Avastin算是把能占有的市场全都占有了:)

    去公司还是作博后,和在学校很像的
    angiogenesis其实有点过气,只是和我现在的实验室比较符合,更感兴趣的领域没人要我......
    To Xingxing,还没有申请你们学校,虽然有很好的group,不过想先去东西岸学术中心看看
