Jan 14, 2025 - We kicked butt at ASCB!
The Starbird Lab attends ASCB! Skylar, Nicole, Johnna, and Camila presented their work, in addition to Dr. Starbird presenting research at two sessions, sitting on two panels, and completing activities associated with her role on the MAC Committee. We were also fortune enough to have our undergraduates tag along. What an awesome experience for our lab. A big round of applause to all of you for being such killer scientists 👏

Less than a week after the first paper from our postdoc comes out is the first paper from the lab! It's a commentary on an important and timely issue: Special considerations for the use of AI tools by PEERs as a learning and communication aid
This paper is now available online but will come in print as part of a special JCP issue with contributions from several leading labs. Stay tuned! Check out the paper HERE
May 20, 2024 - We’re expanding!
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.
