- Dr. Shon Darcy is currently the Senior Engineer at Stryker (MAKO Robotic System Verification Lead). The MAKO robot is a vision guided robotic system which provides accurate placement of implants for Partial Knee resurfacing and Total Hip replacement based on the surgeon plan. The surgeon plan can be changed on the fly as it typically done through inter-operative kinematic analyses for the partial knee operation. The MAKO partial knee system preserves the natural anatomy of both cruciate ligaments preserving a more natural knee motion and the intrinsic four bar mechanism which is characteristic of health joint motion. Shon and April Darcy are the proud parent of two little girls, Integrity (3 year old) and Charity (two weeks old). Shon and April recently moved to a country location outside the city of West Palm Beach and enjoy a large garden, orchard of tropical fruit trees, and raise Peruvian Paso horses. They welcome MSRC alumni to their home as you attempt to escape the cold or would like a welcome re-pass away from the busy stress of city life.

- Dr. Becky Leibowitz made two career changes last spring. She moved from the Medical Device (ETHICON) to the Pharmaceutical (Janssen) sector of Johnson & Johnson and moved from R&D into Regulatory Affairs. In her new position (Associate Director, CMC Regulatory Affairs - Devices & Combination Products), she is responsible for worldwide regulatory activities related to Janssen's drug delivery devices and combination products, and specifically, the regulatory oversight of activities related to ensuring Janssen's legacy and new combination products are compliant with FDA's rule for combination products (21 CFR Part 4). Some examples of Janssen's combination products include: STELARA® which utilizes a pre-filled syringe device to deliver a subcutaneous injection, and DURAGESIC® which delivers pain medicine via a transdermal patch. Leveraging her 16 years' experience at ETHICON developing devices and (cross-labeled) combination products, she provides device regulatory guidance to the device development teams in R&D, Supply Chain, Clinical, and Quality organizations, ensuring documents prepared for worldwide regulatory submissions meet local Health Authority requirements.
