A Deadly Foe
Bacteria may be one-celled creatures, but they can become deadly when cultivated into bioweapons. Microbiologist Karl Klose and a team of scientists are working to develop vaccines against Francisella tularensis, one of the most lethal bacteria being studied for use as a biological warfare agent.

Destroying to Protect
On his computer, Keith Clutter has blown up areas of San Antonio and triggered dozens of explosive devices close to U.S. troops. The assistant professor of mechanical engineering believes the only way to identify at-risk locations in the real world—and find ways to prevent mass casualty—is to destroy them in a virtual world.

After the Dissertation
It's been 15 years since UTSA offered its first doctoral program, a Ph.D. in biology with an emphasis in neurobiology. Back then, there were only two doctoral candidates. Today, programming has blossomed to include 363 students and 20 doctoral degrees. And every day, graduates are putting their Ph.D.'s to use in classrooms, laboratories and the business world.
