From Steel Town to Statistics: The Career of Anthony Segreti

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.
