More on New CIRM Staffers

On July 30 we reported very briefly on the new additions to the staff of the California stem cell agency and promised to bring you more information when it became available.

Here it is, at least for Geoffrey Lomax, who started Aug. 4 as senior officer for the Standards Working Group.

CIRM has this to say about Dr. Lomax. He is the former research director for the California Environmental Health Investigations Branch and has conducted environmental and occupational health research since 1985.

According to CIRM, Lomax supported the professional and research needs of the legislatively mandated Expert Working Group that developed a strategic plan for the Environmental Health Surveillance System in California.

His Ph.d. dissertation involved scientific, ethical, legal and policy issues related to workplace biomonitoring and genetic testing, according to the Branch's website.

Lomax received his BS in Environmental Toxicology from the University of California at Davis and his doctorate within the Division of Environmental Health Sciences in the School of Public Health at the University of California at Berkeley.

We hope to bring you more information on the other two new staffers soon.
