Kelsi Hurt

The financial support of paid tuition and biweekly stipends provided by the Molecular Medicine Department here at USF have given me the opportunities to not only pursue my dream of earning a doctoral degree, but afforded me to become financially responsible for myself. A balance that is vital coming from a limited single income household.

Derek Nichols

The emergence of CTX-M Class-A extended-spectrum beta-lactamases, which confer resistance to a broad spectrum of antibiotics, poses a serious health threat to the public. Using structure-based drug design, we have been able to identify novel inhibitors that combat these mechanisms of resistance.

Myrna Ortiz-Ruiz

The Department of Molecular Medicine provided during all my PhD training with excellent sources of education. The training is not limited to the laboratory experiences but also included conferences and lectures by international-known scientists, scholarships and workshops opportunities that helped me develop my greatest potential to be a successful scientist. But the most important part of this education is that they provided me with support and understanding during my tough personal life episodes. All these experiences kept me motivated to contribute in the research to eradicate Cancer.

Ken Ugen, PhD

The future of biomedical research in the US depends on the continued training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. As such, I am very pleased to provide support (please place fund name here) for postdoctoral fellow travel to scientific conferences to present their research, which is critical for productive scientific interactions with colleagues that, in turn, further enhances American science and research.

Marvin T. Williams, PhD

One of my passions is to give back and to provide opportunities for individuals who will grow and develop into future scientists. My hope is that this ethos will be embraced by others, eventuating a synergy in philanthropy and an enhancement of resources.

Tomar Ghansah, PhD

I give to the campaign to contribute to the success of our graduate students in becoming well-rounded and competitive scientists and health professionals.
