Headshot of Daniel Starr against a dark blue background with white text that reads, "Without [federal funding], we risk losing an entire generation of diverse scientists. And that loss would ripple outward, not just for those students but for the future of science itself and for the public who would have benefited from their ideas" and the From Labs to Lives logo.

Daniel Starr leads work to uncover how the internal architecture of cells helps them function properly. His NIH-funded lab discovered the LINC complex, a structure that helps anchor the cell’s nucleus. When the connection breaks down, it can lead to diseases like cancer, ALS and muscular dystrophy.
