Jesús A. Romo

Jesús A. Romo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), part of the College of Sciences. He conducts research at the South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases (STCEID), focusing on complex microbial interactions in the gastrointestinal tract.

His research interests include:

• Host-fungal-bacterial interactions
• Trans-kingdom microbial dynamics
• Clostridioides difficile infections
• Gut microbiome modulation
• Medical mycology and fungal colonization
• Microbial biofilm formation

Dr. Romo's work integrates molecular microbiology and immunology to understand how fungal and bacterial communities interact with each other and the host during infection. His lab investigates the role of fungal colonizers in modulating bacterial pathogenesis, particularly in gastrointestinal disease contexts.
