Joe Milton McCord (born March 3, 1945) is an American biochemist and current Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado at Denver. He is most famous for his discovery, along with Irwin Fridovich, of the enzyme superoxide dismutase.[1][2] For this work, Dr. McCord has earned numerous awards and recognition. He has been a member of the board of directors of the LifeVantage Corporation (makers of the dietary supplement Protandim) since 2006.

Education, Academic Positions, Awards, and Honors

Dr. McCord hold a B.S. in Chemistry from Rhodes College (graduated 1966) and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Duke University (graduated 1970), where he also conducted postdoctoral research.

Dr. McCord has previously held biochemistry faculty positions at Duke University Medical Center and University of South Alabama. He currently serves as a professor in the department of Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Genetics at the University of Colorado Denver.

Dr. McCord has received several awards and honors for his research and discoveries in the field of free radical biochemistry. McCord is a past recipient of the Elliott Cresson Medal, the Discovery Award from the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM),[3] and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oxygen Society. He holds an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Buenos Aires and has served as Honorary President of the International Society of Antioxidants in Nutrition and Health (ISANH) and as Chairman of the Third International Conference on Superoxide Dismutases at the Institut Pasteur.

LifeVantage/Protandim

Dr. McCord has served on the board of directors (Director of Science) of the LifeVantage Corporation since 2006 [1] and is listed by the SEC as an insider shareholder.[2] LifeVantage is a Utah-based multilevel marketing company that distributes an antioxidant dietary supplement known as Protandim. McCord has co-authored 7 studies on the product[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and participates in distributor training.[3]
