I am very happy to be part of the EMBO Young Investigator Programme! Huge thanks to the members of my group
at CRAG for sharing with me the motivation for science #plants #epigenetics. Looking forward to interacting with the EMBO_YIP scientific community. www.embo.org/press-releas...

Twenty-seven scientists become EMBO Young Investigators – Press releases – EMBO

The group leaders join an international network of nearly 800 life scientists and receive financial support

Am writing a PhD project studying the genes that control drought during flowering in a key UK crop (oilseed rape) - using molecular biology, mutants, lab and field experiments, hyperspectral imaging - all the way from lab to field. Contact me to find out more!

We are looking for suitable candidates to apply for a INPhINIT fellowship. Our current interests are focused on understanding the evolution of plant virus interactions and on the role of crosskingdom RNAi in plant-fungus symbiotic interactions and their evolution. shorturl.at/0FOSx shorturl.at/UbbgT

Conservation of molecular responses upon viral infection in the non-vascular plant Marchantia polymorpha - Nature Communications

Assessment of the evolution of plant-virus interactions suggests rapid reshaping of plant viromes after land colonization, along with rerouting of general defense responses to newly acquired vascular ...
