Dr. Jarrod Mousa's lab at Florida State University focuses on understanding and combating parainfluenza viruses, which are significant causes of severe respiratory infections in children and adults. The lab researches how the immune system recognizes these viruses and aims to develop effective monoclonal antibodies for treatment and prevention. By using advanced techniques like single B cell sequencing and cryo-electron microscopy, the lab seeks to identify key viral structures that can target with therapies and vaccines.

Dr. Robert Schurko's lab at Florida State University focuses on advancing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy technology to better understand biochemical and biological processes. They develop new methods to enhance NMR sensitivity and resolution, enabling detailed studies of macromolecular structures, dynamics, and interactions. Their work has significant implications for biomedical research, especially in areas like metabolomics and drug development.
