25: IN for the Hutch
25: Celebrating Steve’s retirement after decades at the Hutch! So grateful for everything he has contributed over 35+ years and for the chance to work alongside him. Wishing you a wonderful next chapter, enjoy that trip!! You’ll be missed!
24: Eva presents her research at the Dr. E. Donnall Thomas Symposium! Proud to see her sharing the work she’s been building in the lab. Congrats, Eva!!
22: Eva and Matthew are joining the Science Spotlight writing team! Excited to see them put their scientific curiosity to work telling the stories behind research across the Hutch. More science, less jargon—we’re in good hands.
14: Adam’s first day in the EM suite! Different workspace, familiar microscopes. Congrats on the new role!!
11: Adam’s last day in the Campbell Lab. 😭 Adam and Jeremy joined together in June 2021, when we were still getting this whole lab thing off the ground. Five years later, it’s hard to imagine the lab without him. So proud of everything you’ve accomplished, Adam, and grateful we’ll still get to see you nearby!
August 2026
27: Impromptu bring-your-kid-to-work day! Tiny lab coats, tiny visitors, and a new appreciation for how interesting absolutely everything in the lab can be. Especially the paper shredder and electric pencil sharpener.
21: Cat presents her summer research at the poster session! It went fast! Congrats, Cat, and thank you for spending it with us!!
20: Celebrating Cat’s summer in the lab with pizza and root beer floats! I think we decided Mugg was the best? Grateful for the time we’ve had together and excited to see what she does next.
10: Another year, another Obliteride! Huge thanks to everyone riding, walking (us), volunteering, donating, and cheering on research at the Hutch. We’re grateful for this community and the support that helps keep our science moving!
06: Back on the water for lab paddleboarding! A tradition dating back to our first lab birthday, although this year was the smokiest. As the lab has grown it’s gotten more difficult to find a time slot that works for all, but as always we managed!
03: Adam’s paper is ACCEPTED!! 🎉 His work on integrin α5-targeting antibodies has been a fantastic collaboration with the Meves group at Mayo Clinic. So proud of the structural work he brought to this project and very happy to celebrate this milestone. A PhD defense in July, a paper acceptance in August, new job lined up… pretty good summer, Adam!
July 2026
15: DR. JEREMY HOLLIS!! Jeremy successfully defends his dissertation! At the orange bench, Jeremy built a project spanning structural biology and evolution, it’s been a privilege to watch his ideas take shape. So proud of all he has accomplished. As with most things Jeremy, celebrations were over the top, larger than life, and full of joy…
15: Matthew gives a presentation for students from Takarazuka Kita High School! Grateful to Matthew for making time to share science with students and continuing to make outreach such a big part of his work.
01: Congrats to DR. ADAM NGUYEN!! Adam successfully defends his dissertation! At the blue bench, he uncovered how the BIIG2 and MINT antibodies bind integrin α5β1 and he’s brought years of hard work, persistence, and thoughtful science to this project. So proud of everything you’ve accomplished, Adam—it’s been a privilege to watch you grow. A well-earned celebration surrounded by friends and family!!
01: Happy 6th Birthday, Lab!
June 2026
25: Matthew’s teaching gets a Science Spotlight: “The Summer They Became Cancer Researchers”! For the third year running, he’s helping students get their start in research. Proud of the thought and energy he puts into teaching, and thrilled to see that work recognized.
23: Welcome, Cat!! Excited to have her joining the lab for the summer. Looking forward to getting started and seeing where the next couple of months take her!
17: Chelsea’s final talk and final day in the lab! So proud of everything she’s accomplished during her time here, and excited to follow her next chapter in UW’s BPSD program. We’ll miss having you in the lab, Chelsea, but are very glad you’re staying close. Look out, BPSD!
15: Adam and Jeremy have officially been hooded! These two joined the lab together five years ago, and now here we are. 🥺 Adam’s defense is July 1st—the lab’s birthday!—and Jeremy’s is exactly two weeks later on July 15th. Graduation before the defenses? We’re feeling optimistic.

12: Eva presents a poster at the Cell and Molecular Biology Training Grant retreat! Great job, Eva!!
07: Jeremy and Matthew bring “Get IN with INtegrins” to IN Happy Hour at Sparkman Cellars in Woodinville! An evening to share what we’re working on with the people who help make research at the Hutch possible. Thanks to both for representing the lab! (And on top of that they biked there too! Just a quick 20 miler to prep for the 100 mile course they’ll be doing in August.)
04: Melody is officially promoted!! #blessed✨
01: Adam’s paper is resubmitted!! Another step forward for our integrin antibody collaboration. Fingers crossed for good news… it has been a journey..🤞🏼

08: Bubble tea to celebrate Chelsea's time in the lab! Great science, applications, invitations, interviews, decisions… a lot of work behind this celebration. So proud of you, Chelsea, and see you in the fall! 🧋
07: Melody’s promotion talk! A chance to look back at what we’ve built since opening the lab in 2020, when there were six empty benches (which we somehow grew to eight), a lot of COVID uncertainty and backorders, and a lot of equipment still to arrive. Couldn't have done it without the unlimited support from Basic Sciences and the Hutch. Forever grateful to the whole team for choosing this lab and actually doing all the work.
06: Chelsea gives her post-bac Research in Progress talk! Proud to see her bringing together the work she’s done in the lab and sharing it with the Hutch community. Congrats, Chelsea!!
