Dr. Javier Rivera Guzman
Associate Teaching Professor · Non-Tenure Track
About
I am a broadly-trained biomedical scientist.
Research interests
Immunological Cell Signaling, Natural Products, and Public Health
Teaching interests
Opportunities that allow interdisciplinary approaches and analysis are of particular interest to me. In laboratory teaching I am of the mind that I need to prepare students for the skills and knowledge that would be expected of them in a research or clinical laboratory that deals with that topic. In lectures, I try to help my students develop critical thinking skills and connect proverbial dots between different disciplines.
