In an effort to expand our conversations about careers we are connecting postdocs with companies that hire postdocs and PhD this year. As such, thanks to our partnership with the Stuckert Career Center, we invited recruiters and scientists from regional companies to attend the symposium this year. Take a moment to seek them out and learn, first-hand, what their companies are like, and what opportunities they currently have.
Dr. Rebecca Delles received her Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology at the State University of New York at Fredonia in 2008. She attended the University of Kentucky receiving a Master of Science in 2010 and Doctoral degree in 2013 in Food Science.
Dr. Delles’ doctoral research involved investigating the influence of dietary antioxidant supplementation and oil quality on oxidative pathways, enzymatic properties, and protein expression of broiler meat. She joined Alltech, Inc. as a Post-Doctoral Research Scholar in December 2013. Currently, Dr. Delles works at Alltech as a Research Scientist in Meat Chemistry. Her research primarily focuses on the impact of nutritional strategies on oxidative stability in fresh meat products and the identification of biomarkers that indicate the oxidative status levels of animals and or muscle tissues. Rebecca has several peer reviewed publications, and she is a member of the American Meat Science Association and the Poultry Science Association.
Brian earned a BS degree in Biology from the University of Kentucky where he planned to attend Pharmacy school upon earning his BS. In 2006, Brian decided not to pursue further education as he was recruited to Medpace, which at the time was a small Clinical Research Organization in Cincinnati, OH looking to grow its Clinical Monitoring Department. Brian accepted the position at Medpace as Clinical Research Associate (CRA) where he eventually grew to a Lead CRA and then Sr. CRA, responsible for traveling the intercontinental US to monitor pivotal Phase I-III clinical research studies and overseeing a large global Phase III hyperlipidemia study. In 2015, Brian transitioned into a CRA Manager role and has grown into a Sr. Manager now managing CRA Managers and overseeing Clinical Monitoring in our newest Denver office. Outside of work, Brian enjoys playing golf and basketball, coaching his kids sports, and watching his kid’s extracurricular activities.
