Nrf2 Activation & Oxidative Stress With Dr. Joe McCord & Protandim

DR. JOE MCCORD
THE FATHER OF FREE RADICAL BIOLOGY.

Dr. Joe McCord, former Chief Science Officer and the scientist behind Protandim®, was always interested in how things work. When he was a child, he got a chemistry set for Christmas—and the rest is history!

He planned to become a chemical engineer, but in his junior year of college he became interested in biochemistry. A professor encouraged and directed him to graduate studies in biochemistry, and while at Duke University, as a 21-year-old graduate student, he "stumbled onto something very, very important that directed the rest of (his) career."

He remembers April 3, 1968: going home, sitting down and realizing that 10 years of observations could fit into a logical, rational framework. It was a poignant moment. Soon after, he designed an experiment to test it.

Regarding that moment in the lab when he made his world-renowned discovery he said, "Science doesn't usually work from a scientist saying 'I have a grandiose idea' and the scientist setting about to prove it. Rather, it's years of stumbling around, making observations and trying to piece together facts, sharing what is learned, and sooner or later, it becomes meaningful."

Dr. McCord's doctoral dissertation was the discovery of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that eliminates free radicals. About co-discovering SOD with Dr. Irwin Fridovich in his 20s he said, "Youth is sometimes underestimated." For that work, Dr. McCord received the Elliott Cresson Medal, the highest award given by the Franklin Institute.

Dr. McCord received a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Rhodes College and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Duke University. He served as a junior faculty member at Duke University's Department of Medicine; as a professor and chairman of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of South Alabama and its College of Medicine; and as a Professor of Medicine, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Immunity at the University of Colorado at Denver.

He serves as the head of the Division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Webb-Waring Institute; was a member of the LifeVantage Corporation Board of Directors from 2006–2012; served as LifeVantage Director of Science on the LifeVantage Scientific Advisory Board from 2004-2007; and served as Chief Science Officer from 2011 to 2012.

Dr. McCord has published articles in numerous scientific journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine. He received the Discovery Award from the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM). He received a lifetime achievement award from the Oxygen Society for outstanding contributions to the field of free radical biology and medicine.

He chaired the Third International Conference on Superoxide Dismutase held at the Institute Pasteur in Paris in 2004, as well as earlier conferences in the series, and he is Honorary President of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition and Health.
