Dr. Jose Segura Plaza

Dr. Jose Segura Plaza has a Bachelor degree in Chemistry and a Master’s degree in Organic chemistry. He obtained his Ph.D. with honors from the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain, in 2015. His thesis research studies were in Veterinary Science, in the areas of livestock, nutrition, food chemistry, and meat quality.
Dr. Segura works with Dr. López Campos in the Carcass and Quality Merit program and is part of the larger team encompassing Meat Quality headed by Dr. Aalhus, Meat Sensory headed by Dr. Prieto Benavides, and Meat Phenomics headed by Dr. Juárez.
Dr. Segura joined the team in April 2019 as a Post-Doctoral Fellow under AAFC-Postdoctoral Research Pilot Program.
