We’re thrilled to recognize Claire Coker as DiscGenics’ 2Q2024 Backbone Award Winner! With a strong background in Chemistry from Virginia Tech, Claire spent three years doing QC Chemistry for wineries and breweries. After moving to Utah, Claire felt a pull toward something more impactful, and we’re fortunate that this led her to DiscGenics. “I love working here because our work feels like it really will have a greater impact beyond myself. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, and the amount of interdisciplinary work we do keeps things interesting. Working at a small company has its challenges, but it also provides so many opportunities to learn new skills. Every week, I get to solve new puzzles.” When Claire isn’t helping drive our mission forward, you can find her indulging in her hobbies: baking, gardening, and reading. Thank you, Claire, for your passion, dedication, and willingness to tackle new challenges. We’re lucky to have you on the team! 👏
