Randall S. Alberte '69
(awarded posthumously)
Chief Scientific Officer, Herbal Science Group LLC
A biology major and chemistry minor at Gettysburg College, Dr. Randall Alberte was a passionate researcher whose proliferation of publications, inventions, and innovations advanced science through the acquisition of knowledge and mankind through its application. His life's work contributed to significant leaps in national defense as well as breakthroughs in human health and immunity.
His career connected three disparate cultures: academe, government, and consumer biotechnology. His insatiable curiosity, a creative and agile mind, and the highest standards for research and development practices marked his achievements in all sectors. He held top-secret security clearance and received the Meritorious Civilian Service Award from the Department of the Navy, is listed as primary or sole inventor on more than 90 issued or pending patents, and authored hundreds of scientific publications.
Prior to his death in 2010, he was chief science officer at HerbalScience Group LLC and led efforts to develop reliable and effective botanical immune health products.
The Randall S. Alberte Fund for Student-Faculty Research in Biology established as his legacy and in his memory will ensure that future generations of Gettysburg College students will have the opportunity to collaborate on scientific investigations with faculty.
