“THIS IS DISNEYLAND FOR SCIENTISTS!” BRIAN STANSKY IS PROCLAIMING, IN HIS HARD HAT, IN THE GLASS-WALLED LOBBY OF 1812 ASHLAND AVENUE, JUST NORTH OF THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL.
Stansky, a former Wall Street investment manager, is showing off the newly hewn work spaces, wet labs, canteens, and conference rooms in the 23,000-square-foot building that is part and pride of the university’s recent commitment to translating basic laboratory research into real-world innovations, transformational inventions, and life-changing technologies.
