Administrative Resource Center Updates

Roberto P. Minutillo was promoted in January to Deputy Manager of the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). In this capacity, he oversees procurement, manages space and facilities, and supervises several senior administrative officers (AOs) who provide services to DCEG branches. Mr. Minutillo received a B.S. degree in legal studies from the University of Maryland in 1990 and began working at NIH in 1991 as a purchasing agent in the NCI Clinical ARC in Building 10. From 1996 to 1999, he participated in the NCI Administrative Career Development Internship Program, where he gained additional administrative experience through rotations with the NCI Executive Officer, the NCI Office of Grants Administration, the NCI Office of Acquisitions, and the NCI Office of Management. Upon completing the program, he accepted an AO position in DCEG's ARC. In 2006, he transferred to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases but returned to NCI in 2007 as the DCEG ARC's lead AO. With his extensive administrative experience, professional commitment, and know-how, Mr. Minutillo will be an asset to DCEG in his new position as Deputy ARC Manager.

Joan Starr has joined DCEG as the lead AO for the ARC. In this role she will provide administrative services for the Laboratory of Translational Genomics and the Core Genotyping Facility and will coordinate special projects for both the ARC and the Division. She previously worked in the NCI Office of the Director ARC in Building 31, as an AO at the National Institute on Aging, and in various administrative roles at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering and at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Ms. Starr brings to the ARC years of professional experience at NIH, excellent customer service and problem-solving skills, and a fresh perspective.
