Samantha Palmer - Weill Cornell Grad School of Medical Sciences (Cancer Immunology).  Samantha returned to the Biology Department in Spring 2012 to speak to students about medical school, as well as to present her research at the departmental seminar.   She's also pleased to share her FIVE publications!

1. The second receptor binding site of the globular head of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase activates the stalk of multiple paramyxovirus receptor binding proteins to trigger fusion.  Porotto M, Salah Z, DeVito I, Talekar A, Palmer S, Xu R, Wilson I, and Moscona A J Virol. Epub 2012 March 6

2. Mechanism of fusion triggering by human parainfluenza virus type III: communication between viral glycoproteins during entry.
Porotto M, Palmer SG, Palermo LM, Moscona A.
