Erik Rubin, Ph.D.

As a Principal Scientist with the Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Development organization, Erik has been charged with leading the Process Research and Development Laboratory Automation Group responsible for coordinating overall strategy and tactical initiatives in alignment with the Group’s mission. That position satisfies the left side of Erik's brain. On the right , however, is his love of woodworking (or at least his love of reading about it). In Erik's words, his covert mission in life is to retire early and build the biggest woodworking shop ever. In the meantime, he serves as ALA's Vice President.
