Dr. Kruzelock] is a natural leader, an excellent teacher, and
skilled not only with the biology required, but with the legal,
financial, and industrial arenas as well. The wide diversity of arenas
in science that he is outstanding at, including microbiology, human
biology, bioengineering, and chemistry, would, in my opinion, make him
the top candidate for this position. Simply put, I have seen many a young
up-and-coming scientist, and Rusty is in the top 1% of all I have known.
His combination of brilliance, communication skills, personal and
professional attributes, and professionalism, are peerless. I encourage
you in the strongest possible way to recruit this superb candidate."

In September of 2010, companies throughout Massachusetts and
Connecticut came together in the spirit of cooperation and education to
realize the potential of the region's technological and manufacturing
base. This event would only have been possible through the efforts of
Rusty and his vision to assist the ideas that exist all around us.
Rusty's resume speaks volumes for his scientific capability, but his
leadership history represents his ability to "realize" what others often
only "wonder" about. Dr. Kruzelock will be infinitely valuable to any
project or idea that he applies himself"

Rusty draws his research experience from a diverse background in
agriculture, genetics, molecular biology and microbiology. Having worked
side by side with Rusty at the bench, I can say that he is as fine of a
scientist that you will find anywhere. He is extremely collaborative by
nature with superlative grant writing skills. I know of no person with
equaled motivational skills, who negotiates equally well in the
laboratory, Pentagon halls, board room or class room. If you are looking
for a person who integrates easily and sparks 'life' into any program
with his ideas, creativity, and enthusiasm, then I recommend Dr. Rusty
Kruzelock to you in the highest possible terms."
