Herb Ennis is a recent volunteer addition to Milan's group.  Herb  retired from the pharaceutical company Hoffmann-La Roche a number of  years ago.  His previous position was associate Professor of  Biochemistry at the University of Tennessee Medical School.  Herb did considerable work studying the mechanism of action antibiotics.  His 
recent interest is in the area of Developmental Biology which he hopes can contribute to the work going on in Milan's lab.
