    COLLEGE PARK, MD, May 30, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Reginald W. Bennett, Senior Policy Analyst for the Office of Regulatory Science for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has been recognized by Worldwide Who's Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in regulatory science.

More than 50 years ago, Mr. Bennett was sitting in class at the University of Pittsburgh, where he first gained knowledge of pathogens, and realized that he wanted a career in microbiology. Graduating in 1955 with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology, followed by earning a Master of Science in Microbiology in 1958, he has since contributed his understanding of food microbiology to each and every job.

Mr. Bennett started his career as a medical bacteriologist for the Presbyterian Hospital of Pittsburgh. He also worked as a medical technologist and bacteriologist for Braddock General Hospital, a bacteriologist for the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, and an assistant professor of microbiology for Benedict University before becoming a microbiologist for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1960. He currently holds the position of senior policy analyst and spends his days conducting research and analyzing bacterial food poisoning. When asked to describe his duties, Mr. Bennett couldn't help but to laugh when replying, "I can't afford to run out of energy. Too many people are counting on me." In the future, he hopes to contribute to government regulations of food.

Mr. Bennett is a member of the Institute of Food Technologists, The American Society for Microbiology, and the International Association for Food Protection. A Fellow of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists International and the American Academy of Microbiology, he was given the President's Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Association for Food Protection in 2004.
