Summary
James Simone first experienced the emerging field of flow cytometry in 1985 at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, initially in the Immunopathology Department and then at the Comprehensive Cancer Center.
In 1990, he was hired as the operator and manager of the research flow core in the Department of Immunology of SUNY at Stony Brook, using the latest instruments from BD Biosciences. From 1993 to 1997, he managed the flow cytometry laboratory and was an IT systems administrator for a startup company, Ingenex, Inc., which researched HIV and cancer. In 1997, Pharmaceutical Product Development Inc. acquired the group, and Mr. Simone continued to oversee the facility until 2003.
In September 2003, Mr. Simone became flow core manager/section leader at NIAMS, NIH. Over the past two decades, he brought in state-of-the-art flow cytometry equipment and assisted in implementing novel cytometry techniques to further the NIAMS mission.
Research Statement
As a flow core manager, Mr. Simone and his team support all facets of research at NIAMS. He is most interested in how dysregulation of the immune system can result in autoimmunity diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and Crohn’s disease.
