🎃✨ Pumpkin perfection!

We were seriously impressed by the beautifully carved and brilliantly lit pumpkins from @thesainsburylab.bsky.social🕯️

We also got spiritedly competitive with our annual team pumpkin carving competition 😄🎃

Who knew plant scientists were such talented artists? 🪚🎃🌿

Super excited and honoured to have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for CooPAIRation!

How do plant immune receptors work together to trigger an immune response? Can we modulate immune responses for disease resistance? We will tackle these questions in CooPAIRation

Positions to be announced soon!
📣 The ERC Starting Grant call results are out!

Find out which early-career researchers will receive funding this year, what they will be investigating, where they will be based... plus lots of other #ERCStG facts & figures for 2025!

Excited to attend my 1st ISMPMI conference, and present our work on a paired wheat CNL/MLKL receptor mechanism! 🌾

Come chat to me at my poster on Tuesday, P-050! 📜

If you miss my poster session, I will be talking in: Crop resistance genetics and genomics on Wednesday - 16:25-16:35!

Incredibly inspiring talk about the discovery of the more than 200 immune systems in bacteria by Rotem Sorek.

From computational discovery in 2018 through functional and structural analyses, even linking bacterial immune systems to that of eukaryotes.

Pikobodies: NLR immune receptor-nanobody fusions can confer resistance to the potato blight pathogen Phythophthora infestans
Plant pathogens continuously evolve to evade immunity, driving the need for innovative resistance strategies to safeguard global food security. In proof-of-concept work, we engineered the rice nucleot...
