Gatan Profiles in Excellence: Dr. Judy Murphy

Dr. Judy Murphy heads the Microscopy Technology Center at San Joaquin Delta College, but by no means has that been her only job. For the past 12 years,
Dr. Murphy has been a tireless fundraiser, advocate for students in and out of the lab, and a true champion in the field of microscopy. In September 2003, the Center for Microscopy and Allied Sciences (CMAS) will open thanks, in large part, to Dr. Murphy's individual efforts. This brand new, 18,500 square foot building will become home to one of only two nationally-recognized programs in the United States offering a 2-Year Certificate Program for students of Microscopy. We salute Dr. Murphy for her achievements and wish her continued success as her dream continues to unfold.
