Bunnik Lab

Evelien M. Bunnik, Ph.D.
Principle Investigator / Assistant Professor

I am fascinated by host-pathogen interactions, in particular the interplay between host immune responses and immune evasion strategies of the infectious agent. In addition, I am passionate about making this world a better place to live for the poorest and most vulnerable people. For these reasons, my research has focused on the major infectious diseases in the world, in particular those that affect developing countries.
In my spare time, I like to clear my mind by being active outdoors. I love to run and will race any distance between a mile and a marathon. When at home, I enjoy cuddling my cats, solving puzzles, watching movies, and sitcoms such as Seinfeld and That '70s Show.

Jake Gonzales
Graduate Student

I am currently a first year graduate student who loves learning about the immune system. I was born and raised in Texas, and I graduated from Angelo State University with a BS in Biology. When I am not studying or doing research, I am either at home playing video games or I’m watching either football or baseball, depending on the season. I also enjoy listening to music, watching movies, reading comic books, and just chilling out and relaxing.
