Brian Patterson Agilent Technologies
Brian Patterson embodies a rare blend of professional distinction and personal dedication. Born in Webster, Texas, he now resides in Parrish, Florida, where he harmonizes his remarkable professional achievements with a deep passion for the marine world and a steadfast commitment to his family. His life story is a testament to his enduring dedication, inspiring leadership, and the profound respect and admiration he has earned in his professional and personal life.
Raised in the vibrant suburb of Clear Lake City, Houston, the worlds of science and art profoundly influenced his upbringing, thanks to his parents' careers in aeronautical engineering and jewelry design—this unique blend of disciplines instilled in him a deep appreciation for precision and creativity. During high school, he was actively involved in sports, cultivating essential leadership and teamwork skills that would later define his professional persona.
After graduating from Clear Lake High School in 1991, he embarked on an academic journey, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry from the University of Texas in Austin. His quest for knowledge didn't end there; he furthered his studies with a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Polymers from Florida State University in 2000, laying the groundwork for a distinguished career.
His professional voyage commenced at Mosaic Technologies in Waltham, Massachusetts. As a Senior Scientist, he was instrumental in developing a novel 3-D biopolymer substrate for microarray fabrication, marking the beginning of a series of significant career milestones. He continued to ascend in his field through various roles at Matrix Technologies, Apogent Technologies, and Fisher Scientific, each broadening his expertise and leadership skills.
In 2005, he took a significant step forward in his career by joining Agilent Technologies. Starting as a Genomics Field Applications Scientist, Dr Brian Patterson quickly ascended to Product Specialist and District Manager positions. His remarkable contributions to the company were recognized with the President's Club award in 2009 and 2014. From 2015 to 2022, he took on the role of Associate Vice President, leading three commercial channels within Agilent's Diagnostics and Genomics Group and founding the Corporate Accounts channel.
