Jeffrey Skolnick is leaving Jan. 10 for a job in Georgia.

Jeffrey Skolnick, the prominent scientist hailed as the "rock star" of bioinformatics research when he arrived at the University at Buffalo in 2002, is leaving UB for a job at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Skolnick has submitted a resignation letter, effective Jan. 10, and will take a position as director of a center focusing on systems-biology research.

This brings an end to Skolnick's rocky term at the UB bioinformatics center, which received more than $200 million in financial support and generated high expectations as an economic engine. "His tenure's been disappointing in the sense that [he] was trumpeted as a rock star, and there weren't many concerts to attend," said Assembly Majority Leader Paul A. Tokasz, D-Cheektowaga.
