Jun 24, 2024 - Special sneak peek..
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.
