The more I read, the more excited I am about this book. * -Shira Rabin, University of Louisville * I am excited about this text. It is very easy to read and has the appropriate level of detail for my students. * -Denise Slayback-Barry, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis * 'Making Connections' is an absolutely amazing feature. It solves, to some extent, the biggest challenge in teaching immunology to undergraduates, which is to tie together different concepts. * -Madhura Pradhan, The Ohio State University * The explanations of the biology are concise, clear, and easy to understand. I really like the inclusion of the key discoveries and related questions. The author does a nice job of providing a general introduction. * -Michael Zimmer, Purdue University Northwest * My course is structured to include active learning. I offer many group activities, including small-group discussions, case studies, student-made videos, etc. Many of the questions in the Juris chapters align well with how I teach and would be easy to incorporate into active learning assignments. * -Kelly Woytek, Texas State University *

Author Information

Stephen J. Juris is Associate Professor at Central Michigan University. He received his PhD from the University of Michigan and completed a postdoctorate at Harvard Medical School. Stephen>'s research interests focus on the role of bacterial toxins in bacterial pathogenesis. His dissertation work was conducted on Yersinia pestis (causative agent of the bubonic plague) and its role in shutting down the immune response. His postdoctoral work examined the biochemical and biophysical action of anthrax toxin, including transport across endosomal membranes and action within cells. His current research at CMU focuses on a toxin made by Vibrio cholerae (causative agent of cholera) and the role the toxin plays in disruption of the cytoskeleton in intestinal epithelial cells. During his tenure at CMU, he has taught courses in Immunology, Bacterial Pathogenesis, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, and others. When he is not in the lecture hall or in the lab, he enjoys running, golf, and spending time with his family and friends.
