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.
