I ask because I went to a colloquia for school (like a conference for doctoral students because we're an online school so it's the only way we get together--very well done and impressive). In any event, but total chance, the woman I sat down (another doctoral student in business I believe) next to at the first night's seminar just happened to work for Genetech! She was thrilled to be sitting next to a Herceptin patient.
When I read through many of these questions--including my own about the function of the HER-2 gene throughout the body, it occurs to me that we really need to have a Genetech expert (probably a PhD or MD researcher) who shows up fairly regularly to answer more factual types of questions.
Has anyone approached them? If not, I can contact my classmate about it. I think she's in PR or something like that and I know she'd be willing to help. It would be great PR for them to do something like that--assuming they don't have a totally paranoid legal department.
Anyone know anything about this? So many worries could be put to rest with some reliable information. Seems like very much of a win-win to me.
