Welcome to the Starnbach Lab!

We explore the strategies pathogens use to successfully invade and replicate within the host, and the immune responses deployed by the host to thwart these microbes.  When the microbe and host strategies evolve into balance, chronic infection is the result.

Welcome to the lab, Ellie!

Ellie just joined our lab as our new technician. We are excited to have you in our lab!

Congratulations Haitong and Joanna!

Haitong and Joanna both defended their thesis in August and September (2023), respectively. Read more about their projects here.
