BATON ROUGE (AP) — Thirteen applicants to run the LSU System’s biomedical center include the head of another university nutrition center, an obesity researcher for a major pharmaceutical company and the head of the Naval Hospital Corps School.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center’s search committee released the names Wednesday and will consider applicants Monday.
Executive director Claude Bouchard said in March that he will return to research and teaching.
Applicants for his job include James Hill, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver; Steven Heymsfield, global director of scientific affairs for obesity for Merck & Co.; and Stephen Parker, a dentist who runs the Naval Hospital Corps School in Great Lakes, Ill.
