Antonio H. & Marjorie J. Romano Graduate Education Fund
The Romano Graduate Fellowship is awarded to a student in the Microbiology Area of Concentration who has shown exceptional promise in furthering our knowledge of microbiology and microorganisms. The gift comes through the generosity of Dr. Antonio Romano and his wife Jean who have had a long association with the microbiology program at UConn. He received a BS and Ph.D. from Rutgers. In 1971, he became Professor of Biology at UConn. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology. Dr. Romano’s research interests were quite broad involving secondary metabolites produced by bacteria and sugar transport and metabolism in a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, mammalian cells, and protozoans. He published more than 70 articles in his long career that spanned fifty years. Tony passed away in 2018 at the age of 88; he is survived by his wife, Jean.
