Amgen 2006 Annual Report 16
“Looking for new targets is like
being on a basketball team.
We’ve all got different jobs, but
we’re all working towards the
same goal.”
“Cancer is a very clever disease.
Specifically targeted therapies
identify potential ways to fight it.”
Dineli, director, Hematology and Oncology Research
Dineli supervises several research discovery and drug development
programs at Amgen. These projects focus on researching cell signaling,
cell cycle and developmental pathways that are activated in cancers. In
addition, developing technologies to support identification of new targets
in human cancer is an important part of her work.
Larry, senior associate, Clinical Immunology
Larry has worked at Amgen since 1991. Since 2000, he has worked
in the flow cytometry lab, using cell sorting technology to separate
cells with specific characteristics of interest for study. His efforts have
touched hundreds of development projects in multiple therapeutic areas.
