Photograph of Jennifer Sasaki at her wedding

Jennifer Sasaki (Ph.D, 1996) works in Brussels, Belgium as a Director of Toxicology for the Johnson and Johnson affiliated company Tibotec. She recently got married in Hawaii to Paul Van Hummelen (who, I might add, is a great guy). Above is a photo of them at their wedding that took place earlier this year. I believe that they also had another ceremony in Brussels last Saturday and the Krista Dobo, Maik Schuler and Naomi Rodriguez may have attended. [Follow-up note: Apparently the ceremony in Belgium was a great success. Below is a picture of Paul and Jennifer leaving on a decorated motorcycle from the ceremony in Brussels.] We are very happy for Jennifer and Paul and wish them the best of success.
