Kalin Skinner

Kalin Skinner serves as an Assistant Professor of Instruction in the Department of Biology, Health, and the Environment within the College of Sciences at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Dr. Skinner's academic responsibilities include teaching specialized courses in Arthropod Disease Vectors, Molecular Genetics, and Parasitology.

Educational background:

• Ph.D. in Biology from Texas Tech University
• M.S. in Biology from Angelo State University
• B.S. in Biology from Texas A&M University-San Antonio

Research focuses on Vector Biology and disease transmission mechanisms, particularly through arthropod vectors, combined with molecular-level investigations in genetics and parasitology. This work bridges fundamental biological research with public health applications in tropical medicine and disease ecology, emphasizing the interplay between environmental factors and vector-borne illnesses.
