When Julia Rodriguez walked into Bond Life Sciences Center in 2004, she and dozens of others were part of a new campus experiment.
As an administrative staff member for the newly minted center, she had a big task ahead of her, but, as Bond LSC approaches its 20th anniversary, she thinks the trajectory and results largely accomplished their aims.
“When we started, Bond LSC was a brand-new concept on campus, and the administrative burdens at first were crazy,” Rodriguez recalled.
Bond LSC emerged as a center in pursuit of basic science and collaboration. Its narrative entwines the aspirations and discoveries of its researchers, the evolution of its scientific focus and the crucial growth of its research portfolio.
