As the program manager, I support the Meiler Lab at Vanderbilt in various ways. Often this includes monitoring expenditures, assisting with grant preparation, communicating within our department or with collaborators, arranging visas for visitors, and managing the travel and itineraries for guest speakers/students. I also organize our bi-annual Rosetta Workshop and oversee the ongoing Vanderbilt-Leipzig collaboration. Additionally, I make recommendations for supply and equipment needs for research projects and provide technical guidance.
