Dinner with Drew Olaharski in Boston

Last week my wife and I traveled to Boston and while there, we had dinner with ETOX alumnus Drew Olaharski.  Drew is the Executive Director and Head of Toxicology at Erasca, a pharmaceutical company which focuses on anti-cancer drugs.  It was great to visit with him and see that he is doing well both personally and professionally.  Above is a picture of Drew and me taken after dinner on the MIT campus.
