As a 2nd-year graduate student in Molecular Biology, Peter had the opportunity to share his research progress - and the framework for his thesis project - with our department at our weekly seminar.

Along with Tomokazu Tamura from the Ploss lab, Cora launched the academic year of Virology Meetings with a wonderful talk on her characterization of a viral protein that remodels mitochondrial architecture during infection. Her work was also recently published in PNAS, and can be found

Following a two year post-doctoral position at U Penn, Dr. Lum (a former PhD student in the Cristea lab) has returned to us as our newest post-doctoral scientist! We are thrilled to have Krystal back, and can't wait to see the new scientific directions that will unfold in the coming years. 

Hard work pays off -- Tim has just accepted an offer to join ClearView Healthcare Partners as a Consultant in 2022. We are thrilled for you, Tim, and can't wait to see where your career takes you!

Matt and Josh are representing the graduate student and post-doc populations at Princeton, respectively, giving our community a chance to share science and grab a few drinks together every Friday of the academic year -- and in-person! Yay!

Following a nearly two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, Katelyn and Peter are stoked to get our collaborative group meetings up and running again. We are excited to connect with the other virologists at Princeton and share in some great science!

We are collaborating with the Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) organization to tackle problems at the forefront of cancer progression and pathogenesis. SU2C is a charitable organization stemming from the 

This endowed professorship honors Ileana's accomplishments in science and service. We are so proud and, as always, inspired by our incredible leader!

Welcome to our two newest graduate students! Tavis is a QCB (Quantitative Computational Biology) student and co-mentored by Dr. Olga Troyanskaya, working to develop new computational tools for analyzing proteomic datasets. Peter, previously an international affairs major at Georgetown University, is working with Katelyn, Bokai, and Xinlei,…
