Adalyn and James Join the Lab!
The more the merrier, welcome to the lab! Adalyn Brown is an MCDB Graduate student planning to study signaling mechanisms of plasma membrane receptors, and James Alltop is an OSBP graduate student planning to tackle the challenges of studying oligomeric transitions of highly abundant proteins inside living cells.

First Lab Conference: Biophysical Society!
Vlad, Neil, and Jacob went to the Biophysical Society meeting in Philadelphia, the first conference trip for the lab! Neil and Vlad both presented their first posters for the lab, and they all enjoyed the amazing science (and the great Philly food!). Bonus photo: Vlad doesn’t like to take photos in front of posters…

Pia joins the lab!
The lab is happy to welcome Pia Delouri! She is a Molecular Genetics undergraduate student here to help out and learn about cell culture and cloning methods.
-
Daisy joins the lab!
We are all super excited to welcome Daisy Alvarado, a Biophysics graduate student, to the group! Daisy will be studying the regulation of plasma membrane receptors by oligomerization.

Group meetings are growing…
With the arrival of new rotation students, the joint Belyy-Wilburn lab meetings are getting more and more exciting… We’re going to need a bigger room!

Lab’s 1 year anniversary
By complete accident, Vlad wore the exact same shirt on the lab’s first anniversary as he did on the first day. The place looks quite a lot busier than before! For reference, here’s the photo from the exact same place one year ago:

Inaugural lab BBQ is a success
The growing lab gets together for our first summer cookout, hopefully the first of many more to come! The informal bocce tournament is a hit.

Jacob joins the lab!
We’re super excited to welcome the second brave graduate student, Jacob Smith, into the lab! Jacob (photographed here after an exceedingly productive trip to the surplus department, second from the right) is a student in the OSBP program and will be unraveling the mysteries of eukaryotic stress signaling. Hurray!

First brave grad student joins!
In a very special day for the lab, the first graduate student decides to join after completing all of his rotations! Swapnil (Neil) Mukherjee becomes one of the lab’s founding members. Can’t wait to see the wonderful things he’s going to achieve over the next few years!

First experiments!
Despite still waiting on a whole bunch of equipment and reagents to arrive, we’re beginning to do some real benchwork. Here’s how (not) to measure out agar for LB plates before you get your chemical scoops delivered: And here’s Nick bravely loading a gel for the first time:
