Brittany Hollerbach, Ph.D., is a Scientist at NDRI-Ventures. She received her Ph.D. in Kinesiology from Kansas State University and completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at Skidmore College under the direction of Dr. Denise Smith where she focused on cardiovascular disease in the fire service.

Dr. Hollerbach has extensive experience working with the fire service on a number of federally funded firefighter studies. She serves as the Principal Investigator (PI) on a FEMA-funded project examining firefighter perceptions of protective strategies used to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Dr. Hollerbach has an interest in firefighter health in general and the translation and dissemination of research directly to the fire service, given her background as a former firefighter. She also has experience teaching at the fire academy and is well-connected to the fire service community in Kansas City.
