Dr. Niman does live near Pittsburgh, or at least used to. He used to coach his daughter's soccer team.

He seems to be one of those brilliant people who are hard to pigeonhole. Virology, molecular biology, technology, biotech, started a pharmaceutical company that's projected to actually go into the black next year.

He's a lot more successful than most people I know.

Well, if he works at the Boston Shriners Hospital, or Mass General, or Harvard itself, he must have one heck of a daily commute from Pittsburgh to Boston.

Do you know what he did at the U of P?

Do you happen to know if there is a pix of him on the net?

You mention all his fields,do you know what he actually does as a "cancer researcher-surgery instructor-bioengineer"?

Do you know how he has time for posting all over the net about med companies and cyber troubles,and SARS and anthrax, but not about his "job" at Shriners?

When you email him, give him my regards.
