I am a plant biologist at the University of Sheffield (UK). My lab studies the molecular, (epi)genetic and ecological strategies by which plants adapt to stress from pests and diseases.
🌿 3 new PhD positions in the Ton lab @PPS_UoS. Part of the ERC project '#PlantMemo', exploring how plants remember & respond to stress.

🌍 Excited to announce a fully funded joint PhD between @PPS_UoS (UK) and @westsyduhie (Australia)!
Explore the epigenetic basis of immune memory in Arabidopsis 🌱 – at the interface of plant ecology, evolution, and epigenomics.
