We enjoyed the delicious turkey dinner at Xiao’s house on January 21, 2024, to make up the Thanksgiving as well as to celebrate the New Year! So glad to get reunited finally, especially with our lab alumnus Kevin, a current medical student at WashU!

Dr. Hirbe ordered some Bundtlets from Nothing Bundt Cakes for the Lab Meeting on Monday, 10/16, to celebrate the September and October Birthdays!

We did the goodbye lunch for Kevin and Divya in Saigon Cafe! Best wishes on their new journey!

CTF was amazing as usual!  Kevin, Simge, and Paul presented posters that were well received and Dr. Hirbe was a panelist in the clinical case conference and Gabe a talk highlighting one of our awesome cell-free DNA biomarker collaborations with the NIH.  Everyone had fun connecting with collaborators in the evenings!

We enjoyed delicious food and had fun for this early summer in Xiao’s backyard on June 16!

The Hirbe lab was excited to host Dr Yoshihiro Nishida from Nagoya University.  Dr Nishida was able to spend some time learning how our NF Center is run and shared some of the research that he is passionate about.  We truly enjoyed his visit!

Winter has been a little crazy, but we finally celebrated the January and February birthdays in the lab!

We had a potluck at Xiao’s house on December 16, 2022, finally after the Pandemic, to celebrate the incoming Christmas and New Year! How wonderful to taste the marvelous meals from everyone!

The Hirbe lab celebrated with a surprise baby shower for Himanshi on July 11th for the second time, after the one in 2020! Thank Dr. Hirbe and Dana for organizing this event, and thank everyone for the gifts!

We were finally enjoying the delicious BBQ food and drinks and sharing fun stories in the blooming flowers at Xiao’s backyard on May 27th, which was originally scheduled for this January! (See the magic of PhotoShop!)

We were enjoying the delicious food from Picklemans on Monday, March 28, as Min will end her rotation and Angie wanted to buy lunch for everyone as a farewell!

We had a great time on December 20, 2021, enjoying the delicious food from Sauce on the Side, to celebrate the incoming Christmas and New Year!

We were celebrating the incoming Thanksgiving with the awesome Vietnamese cuisine from Little Saigon Cafe on November 22!

We were enjoying the delicious cuisines, BBQ food, marshmallow sandwiches, and a wonderful night gathering around the bonfire on October 22 for the upcoming Halloween!

We had a fun time enjoying the outdoors and some tasty BBQ last weekend!

This was the first time we have been able to gather since the pandemic and it was wonderful to share a meal together and bond outside of work!  Looking forward to more fun together!
