Biography

Louis Justement (b. 1958), Professor of Microbiology, received his B.A. degree in Microbiology from Miami University (1980). He subsequently received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio State University (1982 and 1985, respectively) in the field of Microbiology with a special emphasis in Immunology. As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. John Cambier at the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine in Denver, Colorado he developed an interest in studying cell biology, and in particular the signal transduction processes underlying lymphocyte activation. Since that time he has continued these studies first as an Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas (1990-1996) and most recently as an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology at UAB. When not working he enjoys spending time with his family, as well as gardening, fishing or hiking.
