Microbiology Fund

Student Researching in Lab of Microbiology & Immunology.

This fund provides for student travel awards and fellowships in microbiology in memory of a former teacher and researcher.

Dr. Eugene A. Gorzynski — who earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at UB — was a popular professor and scholar in the Department of Microbiology.

This fund, established shortly after his death, recognizes his work, and is used by the chair of the Department of Microbiology in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to support student awards and fellowships.

Early in his career, Dr. Gorzynski and a colleague played a pivotal role in noting the role of E. coli bacteria in causing severe diarrhea, which kills millions of children each year. In addition, Dr. Gorzynski was known for his teaching at the UB School of Nursing, his research at the Witebsky Center for Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology, and his work with Veterans Hospital.

In the world of medicine, there is always more that we can do. More physicians we can train. More discoveries we can make. More lives we can save. Now, even as we celebrate all we have recently achieved, we continue to look forward to the possibilities ahead. Bold ambitions require big investments—and generous support. Together, we will continue to build on our shared success and lead the way toward the future of medicine.
