DNA of Innovation: In Celebration of Lee Hood

DNA of Innovation: In Celebration of Lee Hood

Hundreds of friends and colleagues celebrated Dr. Lee Hood's 70th birthday at the Institute for Systems Biology, the Seattle Library for a scientific symposium and at the W Hotel for a gala evening of fine food and dancing. The three events, held under the rubric of "DNA of Innovation: Lee Hood at the Leading Edge", celebrated Lee's unique contributions to biomedical research, instrumentation and entrepreneurship, which have literally changed the world. The events also challenged participants to keep up with Lee as he drives the development of P4 Medicine in the coming years!
