Kevin B. Kiser

Senior Lecturer

I joined the Biology and Marine Biology faculty at UNCW in 2012. I am an infectious disease bacteriologist with interests in antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic discovery. Although my primary role is teaching microbiology and immunology courses to undergraduates, I also share my research interests by occasionally mentoring FYRE, DIS, and Honors projects in the laboratory.
