LifeSciKY announced the hiring of Wendy Lemen, a seasoned laboratory operations specialist with more than 20 years of experience, as its inaugural Lab Services Manager. In this new role, Lemen will serve as the principal liaison for LifeSciKY’s lab residents, oversee instrument management and lab services, and play a critical role in daily operations. She joins from her previous position managing 11 biology labs at University of Cincinnati Blue Ash, and brings technical expertise in molecular biology, microbiology, and lab safety. Her appointment comes ahead of the opening of LifeSciKY’s 15,000-square-foot lab facility in the OneNKY Center, further strengthening the operational backbone of the region’s growing life sciences ecosystem.
