Invest in the Future of the UAB Microbiology Department
As state and federal support for higher education is rapidly shrinking, UAB relies on the generosity of its many friends and benefactors to fund high-quality education and support distinguished research programs like those carried out in the Microbiology Department.
The research results of faculty and students in the Microbiology Department often serve as a driving force for many significant scientific advances. This outstanding work attracts national and international attention. UAB and the Microbiology Department continue to place among the top in national surveys.

UAB was ranked 16th Best Place to Work for Postdocs in a nationwide survey of public universities conducted by The Scientist, the magazine for life science professionals. UAB is among 11 universities nationally (and the only Alabama university) to earn the prestigious Beckman Scholars Award, which provides scholarship funds to universities demonstrating exceptional mentoring and training of undergraduate researchers. The first Beckman Scholarship Award was presented in 2012 to UAB Microbiology Department student Timothy Fernandez, a senior undergraduate student working in the lab of Jamil Saad, Ph.D. UAB ranks 27th nationally in research-based projects funded by the National Institute of Health. |
Although UAB is a public university, donor support is needed now more than ever to help us maintain academic excellence and cutting-edge programs and keep talented, award-winning faculty.
Your private gift allows the UAB Microbiology Department to provide students with a margin of excellence that cannot be accomplished with state and federal funding alone. To invest in the future of the UAB Microbiology Department, call the University Development Office at (205) 934-1806.
