This past November 2025 the Starbird lab had the pleasure of sending some of our members to the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority  Students in San Antonio, TX. Seen in the picture are Alexia Horton (former summer student), Nicole Fournier (our research technician) , Lesley Canseco (our post-bac student) all of whom gave spectacular presentations on their various projects. These wonderful ladies have been working hard and we are proud to be showcasing them. Keep on the lookout for more exciting updates regarding these stellar scientists.

I would also like to give a brief shout-out to Summer Truong who is part of our good friend Tigist Tamir’s lab. She did an excellent job presenting as well. You can learn more about Summer’s work and the research being done in the Tamir lab HERE
