Gayle Brazeau named to Mainebiz's '2013 Next list' as one of 10 people shaping the future of Maine's economy

Gayle A. Brazeau, Ph.D., dean of the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ College of Pharmacy, was named to Mainebiz' "2013 Next List" as one of 10 people shaping the future of Maine's economy.

Mainebiz explains that "this year's Next List presents 10 people whose work ranges from growing regenerative tissue to growing a technology hub; from developing pharmacists to developing gourmet wood cooking tools; from providing pipeline components to providing jet components. ... Although their fields of endeavor are as far-flung as the parts of Maine from which they come, they all hold tremendous promise for the state."

The story states: "Because ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ's College of Pharmacy still is new, it can move nimbly to be innovative and entrepreneurial to help change the face of the pharmacist profession, Brazeau says. That includes genomics and genetics courses and labs. It also means looking at the pharmacist's role in a new way, such as personalized disease management." Read and the .
