Alumni

Anthony Segreti (MS, BIOST ‘75) grew up in Larimer, a tight-knit Pittsburgh neighborhood where families knew struggle but also perseverance, during the height of industrialization in the United States. His father worked long hours as a steelworker at the Christy Parks Works of United States Steel, while his mother managed the household and cared for the family. Money was tight, but discipline, education, and hard work were non-negotiable in their household and those values shaped Segreti’s nearly four-decade-long career in the biopharmaceutical industry.

“I received a solid foundation in both theory and application,” Douglas Landsittel reflected on his time at Pitt. “That balance has been critical in every stage of my career.” His advice for students is clear: “Follow your interests, seek good mentors, and don’t be afraid to step into roles that push you to grow.”
