Sep 14, 2023 · Robert A. Lamb, professor emeritus of molecular biosciences at Northwestern University, died Sept. 2. He was 72. Robert Lamb retired in 2022 from Northwestern after 39 years of service. Lamb was an internationally recognized authority on influenza and paramyxoviruses.
In 1997, Lamb and his team developed a way to stop influenza viruses from leaving their host cells, and stop the viruses at the end of their replication cycle. They found out that by disabling hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, the number of viruses exiting from the host cells decreased by 90%.

Dec 1, 2003 · Robert A. Lamb, a professor at Northwestern University and an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, has focused most of his research on influenza and paramyxoviruses, two viral families responsible for many biologically and economically important diseases in humans and other animals.
Nov 7, 2023 · Bob later revealed the ion channel activity of the influenza A M2 protein and influenza B BM2 protein in collaboration with Dr. Lawrence Pinto at Northwestern, thereby defining the channel’s role in influenza virus entry as well as membrane scission in virus exit.
Oct 6, 2017 · Robert Lamb's laboratory studies the replication of influenza virus and paramyxoviruses, particularly virus-mediated membrane fusion, the action of the M2 and BM2 protein-selective ion channels, enveloped virus assembly and how these viruses defeat innate immunity.
