Please note the important event details below:

Lab Tours: All individuals that attend CTF Connect will have the opportunity to tour either Dr. Robert Friedlander or Dr. Amantha Thathiah’s research laboratory (Dr. Lopez’s laboratory is unable to be offered for tour at this time given location). Please note that Dr. Friedlander’s lab is an approximate 7 minute walk and Dr. Thathiah’s lab is approximately a 4 minute walk. Although this event’s after hours’ time frame will provide limited foot traffic, attendees interested in seeing Dr. Friedlander’s laboratory should be aware that they will have to walk through UPMC hospital for arrival. If an attendee is uncomfortable with this requirement, we recommend planning to tour Dr. Thathiah’s laboratory which can be accessed outside of the hospital. These tours are not mandatory and will take place throughout the last 45 minutes of the event, with all attendees being escorted by a representative from the University of Pittsburgh.
Parking and Event Location: We get it - Oakland can be a confusing and overwhelming place! The map provided below will help you locate the parking garage and event location with ease. Please park in the notated garage, P-1, and utilize the elevators to arrive on level C (the main floor).
