It is an exciting time to be a scientist at UAB and in the Department of Microbiology. The university is undergoing a period of expansion and the department is also growing and actively recruiting new faculty members interested in infectious disease and the interface between the host and the pathogen. With our existing cadre of investigators and the new faculty who join us, we plan to capitalize on the department’s strong foundation and heritage to build a scientifically rich environment that will allow us to meet our twin missions of carrying out cutting-edge, fundamental basic and translational research to improve human health and educating the next generation of scientists who will lead the fight against infectious and immune-mediated diseases.
