To quote the preprint announcement:  "We got to join this fantastic, long-standing collaborative project with some scientific titans. We worked with the Baker, Springer, and Van Ry labs to characterize highly specific de novo integrin 'minibinder' proteins. It started as a rotation project, but by the end Andres had  several high-resolution structures delineating key contacts, confirming the de novo design, and providing a blueprint for the future integrin-binding proteins." Read the published version here: De novo design of highly selective miniprotein inhibitors of integrins αvβ6 and αvβ8

05: Christy is promoted to Associate Vice President of the Basic Sciences Division. So well deserved-- it has been phenomenal to have Chrsity's support over the past few years.

17: Wasn't quite sure what to expect but Melody had an absolute blast presenting the research we do as part of the Bandit Theater's Mad Science Comedy Show. Thanks to all who came out to help support me embarrass myself to a sold out audience, thanks to Erik for nominating me for this opportunity, but most of all thanks to the wonderful comedians who riffed on integrins & immunity. Very proud that after less than two years we already have a(n improv) musical about the lab 🎶

14: Melody is selected as a Pew Biomedical Scholar! Read more about this award and our plans here.

13: Welcome to Kevin Alexander Estrada Alamo who visits us for the summer from the Amacher lab at Western Washington University where they have been using x-ray crystallography to study the selectivity-determining loops in SH2 domains. Kevin is keen to learn cryoEM and will be working with Jeremy & Rachel for the next two months. Welcome to Kevin, we can't wait to get started!

13: Thank you to Matthew Ross, the truly talented science writer who somehow knitted my meandering stream of consciousness answers to his interview questions into this eloquent, cohesive, and overtly-flattering spotlight. (More than a few "ums" and "likes" may have been edited out of the direct quotes...)

7: Could barely sneak a photo since his poster was so crowded for both sessions, but Andres did a fantastic job presenting his rotation project at the MCB poster session.

15: Thamiya arrives! Thamiya was the SECOND person who signed on to be in the lab back in December of 2020! Her grad project grew some new interesting directions so her timeline was shifted, but we're thrilled that she is finally here.

4: Jeremy wins an NSF-GRFP (National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships Program)! Co-advised with Harmit Malik, Jeremy initiated the collaboration between our labs, devised and designed this innovative project completely on his own, and is diligently carrying it out. Couldn't be more deserving of this recognition and forever thrilled that he's a part of the lab.

29: Absolute blast this year celebrating Halloween and carving pumpkins. Winning the "most artistic" category was just the icing on the cake.

25: Picked up our pumpkins today: big plans this year for the Basic Sciences /Human Bio pumpkin carving contest! Thanks to Caleigh for hosting the our first annual pumpking carving. 🎃🎃🎃🎃

15: Over ten years in a box and the next gen Group Meeting Gopher (G.M. Gopher) starts a new life as 'a reminder for who is presenting next week.' Chuffed to carry on this tradition from my time in the Karbstein Lab.

01: Thanks to a generous donation from the Koss Family, we'll be able to pursue an antibody discovery project using the Antibody Technology Shared Resource at Fred Hutch! We're hoping these experiments will help us better understand the mechanism of integrin activation. Proud of this first grant awarded to the lab!

September 2021

18: Three talks in three days! Different audiences, different lengths, different content.... Probably won't agree to that time line again, but this last one was truly an honor to take part in! Read more about this outstanding partnership here.

17: Campbell Lab's on a ROLL. Even though he was one of the most junior scientists of the 38 participating (rising 2nd year grad student), the extraordinary Adam won first price at the Fred Hutch 40th Anniversary Basic Sciences Retreat Poster Session!!

14: Lab sushi lunch to celebrate the fantastic Jeremy and his well earned T32 Molecular Biophysics Training Program Grant! 🎉

August 2021

16: Second lab flood (on a much bigger scale than our leaky fridge)!!  🙌 to Singhvi & Bai labs for helping us panic-mop and 🙌🙌🙌to Hutch facilities for cleaning everything up so quickly. Fortunately, we had moved our workstations, etude and scherzo, the previous week.

July 2021

14: Celebrating our first labbiversary with paddle boarding & pizza.

11: Finally finished the Glacios time-lapse!

07: Super excited to host two fantastic seminar speakers this week! Cristina Puchades from UCSF shared her recent innovations, tips, & tricks to solve high resolution structures of membrane proteins, and Daniel Asarnow presented some of the intricate and comprehsive work he has done to characterize a collection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies structurally and beyond.

First lab pizza party to celebrate two great talks, two submitted fellowships, AND the approved funding for a new carbon evaporator.

06: Two graduate student fellowship proposals submitted and in the books! Couldn't be more proud of Adam & Jeremy for their innovate ideas and getting everything together so quickly after joining to get these shipped.

June 2021

25: Blast from the past when we did some cleaning up: personalized and monogrammed glass pipettes from when Hal Weintraub himself had his lab in this space over 25 years ago.

10: Both Adam and Jeremy have have joined the lab!

4: First Annual 3rd Floor NE Picnic at Golden Gardens with the Bai & Singhvi Labs was a blast!

4: First Second Lab Selfie

2: Most entertaining instrument training yet on the BLI. Picked up some fantastic tips for setup and the new software & ended with a group rally to get Adam some last minute extra data for his rotation talk next week.

May 2021

12: Will it jinx is if I report that our TC room is really truly completely finished?

April 2021

24: Melody, Caleigh, and Barry Stoddard talk to GeekWire about the new cryoEM facility at the Hutch!

8: Glacios / K3 update: 2.4Å and aromatic rings!

6: Campbell Lab in Bloom

2: One week into the rotation, and not to brag but check out how good both the grad students are at handling grids, making grids, & staining grids.

March 2021

30: 😎 [Click for PUNS]

29: Welcome to TWO new rotation students: Jeremy Hollis  who joins us from the Seattle MCB program and Adam Nguyen  from the UW BPSD program. We're so excited to have you both here!

26: Prepping for *two* rotation students to start next week... 😱

Edit: By popular demand, product list can now be found here

25: For a quick introduction for what we do in a cryoEM lab, read what Melody had to say in this interactive partner project between NIGMS and Scholastic: Imaging Lab.

19: Just half a day after sign-off, a ~2 hr inagural data collection by Caleigh of an apoferritin sample expressed and purified in the lab, and we have a 2.76Å map using 65 micrographs and ~27k particles.

18: Signed off on the Talos and Glacios electron microscopes today!

4: Welcome to our new "lab member" Scherzo. Ready to process data just as soon as the scopes are complete!

2: Our BLI was installed today-- time to start measuring some binding affinities!

February 2021

28: No news is good news?

January 2021

26: Signed off on the Gatan K3 detector for the electron microscope today.

15: It may not be the prettiest first western blot but it's *our* first western blot.

05: New year, new experiments!

December 2020

22: Warmest* Wishes from the Campbell Lab! 2020 has been a wild time to open a lab, but with support from our neighbors at the Hutch I'm thrilled at what our little lab has set up so far. Excited for what's to come in 2021 with a post-doc joining and grad student rotating in the new year.

17: The glow discharger is up!

15: Our TC setup is up and running and we're growing cells.

11: The FEG has successfully been installed on the Glacios and we have a beam (albeit a very shakey and unstable one).

11: Our Shimadzu HPLC "Chewbacca" was set up today and we're ready* to run some FSEC. Chewbacca joins his new brother-- also called Chewbacca-- as the third HPLC-for-FSEC (to our knowledge) with this name.

03: The Glacios is almost ready for the field emission gun (FEG)! The FEG is the electron source for our microscope and has a maximum accelerating voltage of 200,000 eV. It provides the small coherent beam of electrons that we use to image our samples at high resolutions.

November 2020

20: The Glacios microscope is plugged in, powered on, and moving!

18: First Campbell Lab protein purified:

13: The lab is looking more like a lab!
