The Starbird Lab would like to extend a huge welcome to Johnna Bingham and Camila Arango who will be joining the lab as our new graduate students. Johnna will be working on TAM Receptor Binding and Exosome Trafficking: Implications for Non-Lytic Viral Spread by Enteroviruses. Camila will be investigating the lipid:receptor:ligand complex of TAM receptors using biophysical approaches such as single-molecule tracking and structural approaches like CryoEM.

Starting today YOU can be part of the awesome science taking place in the Starbird Lab. We are fortunate enough to have some amazing people supporting us and we’d like to extend an invite to anyone who wishes to contribute to making the Starbird Lab a success. Head over to the Donate page to learn more about getting involved with us.
You heard it here folks! Join us in celebrating Skylar for getting an honorable mention for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. This is a very prestigious award and getting an honorable mention is quite an achievement! Glad we aren’t the only ones now that see Skylar is top notch and that future fellowship is coming! Congratulations Skylar!!!
We could not be more honored to announce that our wonderful professor, Dr. Starbird, was chosen to be one of three awardees for the fall 2023 CARES (Career Advancement and Research Excellence Support) Awards. CARES is a component of The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) organization. The CARES program strives to help researchers reduce financial burdens associated with caregiving and provides an opportunity for recipients to focus on their professional developments.

We are very excited to announce that the Starbird Lab has hired on a new technician. Her name Nicole Fournier and she is coming to us all the way from California. Welcome Nicole!
We are very excited to have Skylar in the lab and look forward to seeing her project develop. Skylar will be working on the structural investigation of membrane protein complexes involved in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Welcome Skylar!
You go Dr. Starbird! Read the profile here: https://www.biophysics.org/blog/chrystal-starbird
The Starbird Lab received it’s second grant, as part of a collaboration with labs at Meharry, Vanderbilt, and Fisk Universities.
