Joseph G. Sebranek, Ph.D.
Dr. Sebranek is a long time member and leader in the AMSA, serving as Director and President. He has made significant contributions to the Meat Science discipline and the Meat Industry over a very successful career. He has been recognized as an outstanding teacher and researcher by AMSA and other organizations. He is a Fellow in the American Meat Science Association, the Institute of Food Technologists, and the American Society of Animal Science. He is the recipient of the R.C. Pollock Award.
