Meanwhile, former Life chairman and CEO Greg Lucier is taking some time out after running a public company for 11 years, he told Clinica’s sister publication Scrip. Mr Lucier was appointed CEO of Invitrogen in 2003, which merged with Applied Biosystems in 2008 to form Life. He will remain active as a board member at companies including NuVasive, RainTree Oncology Services, Carefusion and the Sanford-Burnham Medical Institute in San Diego. "In time, I will get back into being a CEO," he said.
