Adjunct Faculty List

The Department of Life Sciences is active in the South Texas region. In addition to sponsoring and supervising community outreach programs, the Department also uses adjunct faculty from the community. These people have demonstrated knowledge and expertise in teaching, research or both. They broaden and enrich our programs by bringing first-hand experience from their home research centers, academic institutions, businesses, industries or government agencies.
