I work in the biotech community in San Diego and I'm worried that I have contracted HIV.

Washington, D.C., June 2, 2010 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a former executive at a San Diego-based biotechnology company for making false statements to investors about her company's prenatal test for Down syndrome.

So alot of rumors going on at GNF in San Diego. Wondering if anyone has any inside info. Some rumors are going around that Pete is going to get sued by Novartis, but that is total hear-say. Pete schultz just left this Monday and is no longer the institute director,and he stated it was his choice, but people are speculating he could have been forced out.

I have been looking for a new job for a while now, last week I found a job that I was really interested in but the salary was 25% less than what I had been making. Is the biotech industry really in such a bad shape? Or was I just being lowballed by HR?

How will this stack up to Complete Gen and Pac Bio?

Take Notice that the Beckman Coulter 2009 layoffs are not triggering the State Employment Development Department Warn (Workers Act Retraining Notification) Notices in Florida or California. Management is timing Layoff's as to not trigger any required public notification. In addition, employees whose jobs are going to Indianapolis are being given layoff notices that have a "future" date.
