Introducing...
...faculty sponsor, Dr. Jorge Girón,
Assistant Professor, Microbiology and Immunology. Dr. Girón's research
focuses on the structure-function of adherence factors of
pathogenic bacteria including, enteropathogenic, enterotoxigenic,
enteroaggregative, and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia
coli,
Shigella, and the opportunistic pathogen Stenotrophomonas
maltophilia. Understanding how bacterial pathogens interact
with host epithelial cells is a key question to develop new
strategies for prevention of infectious diseases. Further,
the molecular signals triggered in mammalian cells in response
to bacterial adherence and colonization is central to understand
the molecular cross talk between bacteria and host cells.

Ways to Support UBRP
The Annual Fund Drive and the Annual
UA Cares Drive
The University has an annual fund drive during which students
call alumni to ask for contributions to this institution.
Typically alumni are called by someone representing the college
from which they graduated; so College of Science grads would
be asked to give to the College of Science; College of Social
and Behavioral Science grads would be asked to give to Social
and Behavioral Sciences, etc. What we discovered recently
is that when donors pledge as a part of the annual fund drive,
they can direct their pledge/gift to any unit on
campus (but
those who wish to do this need to tell the person calling
where they would like their gift to go).
For faculty, students, and staff on campus, it is also important
to know that gifts made through the UA Cares solicitation
in the fall can also be designated to support UBRP.
Contributions to the UBRP Fund are fully tax deductible.
We are grateful for your support and it will help support
future students involved in research. |
