Dear Dr. Frederick,

Vaccinex is a Rochester biotechnology company focusing on development of vaccines for cancer. We employ a number of graduates of the R.I.T. Biotechnology program (our most recent hire is Robert Onofrio). We continue to expand and are looking to hire additional personnel both immediately and, very likely, throughout the next two years. I would be grateful if you could refer to us qualified students looking for a challenging technical position. We offer a very interactive, research intensive environment which would be most comfortable for ambitious, strongly motivated individuals who are drawn to the rewards of a team effort. I am appending for your information a recent Vaccinex press release.
