TESTIMONIALS

“The Bioscience Research Building infrastructure is absolutely fantastic. I know only a few research buildings in the world that are as equipped for cutting-edge biomedical research as the Bioscience Research Building.”
- Igor Almeida, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biological Sciences

“The Bioscience Research Building is the culmination of a tremendous effort by a significant number of people. The building is a testament to the commitment of the Biology faculty to UTEP and its students. Moreover, the building’s design exemplifies the collaborative nature of the department’s research program.”
- Kristine M. Garza, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biological Sciences

“The open-space design of the Bioscience Research Building fosters communication and collaboration between laboratories, enhancing the learning environment for our students and increasing their exposure to varied fields and techniques. The Bioscience Research Building and the Border Biomedical Research Center are major players in UTEP’s mission to achieve Tier 1 status as a research university, and both are critical in allowing our students to develop the professional skills that will make them competitive in the global scientific marketplace.”
- Kristin Gosselink, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences

“The new Bioscience Research Building houses a series of state-of-the-art research core facilities that provide not only equipment but also trained personnel who offer training and technical support to students, faculty and staff members across the campus. This tremendous resource facilitates and optimizes interactions among investigators, of all levels, at UTEP and throughout the region, promoting cutting-edge research on the border.”
- Kyle L. Johnson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor Biological Sciences

“The Bioscience Research Building represents UTEP’s initial investment toward becoming a contributor and true player in the field of biomedical research. Other institutions have tended to stop at this point. However, the ongoing efforts at recruitment, support and retention of top-tier faculty are but a few indicators of UTEP’s serious commitment to follow through on its vision. UTEP’s commitment to the Biomedical Sciences is also evidenced by its bringing the School of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences onto the main campus through its investment in additional infrastructure.”
