Gabriela Lozano
I am a senior at The University of Iowa studying Microbiology with a Public Health interest. I have a passion for community building, animal rights, social justice, and health sciences which have led me to my job as a Health Sciences Resident Assistant for the second year. As a Resident Assistant I incorporate my passion of Public Health by encouraging healthy lifestyles while building a comfortable, positive, and safe living environment for the community.
My passion for social justice has led me to become founder and president of a new student organization at the University of Iowa known as Under Your Wing with the purpose of volunteering and fundraising for Shelter House but most importantly raising awareness for people experiencing homelessness specifically in the Iowa City community.
I like to keep an open mind regarding new learning experiences and opportunities that will help me grow as a student and community member.

- Studied how bacteria respond to their environment, to each other, and other species when growing on surfaces to ultimately understand the pathogenesis of organisms.
- Studied and used Vibrio Parahaemolyticus as a model organism to understand how bacteria sense surfaces and differentiate between swimming versus swarming when transitioning from liquid to surfaces. Goal was to study the ability that allows the bacteria to accomplish this behavior.
