In an effort to expand our conversations about careers we are connecting postdocs with companies that hire postdocs and PhDs. As such, thanks to our partnership with the Stuckert Career Center, we invited recruiters and scientists from regional companies to attend the symposium. Take a moment to seek them out and learn, first-hand, what their companies are like, and what opportunities they currently have.
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 an Associate Director role, 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.
