There are no words to describe how excited and honored I am to take on the role. Already had such amazing support from the plant pathology community in Switz and cannot wait to grow the team further and see how far we can get in tackling our fungal foes. Look out for jobs starting in May 2026!
We warmly welcome Dr. Megan McDonald as Associate Professor of Plant Disease Dynamics. Her research on fungal diseases in crops will strengthen our expertise and collaborations across plant sciences. 🌱
At its meeting of 17 and 18 September 2025 and upon application of Joël Mesot, President of ETH Zurich, the ETH Board appointed eight professors. The Board also awarded the title of "Professor of Practice" once.

Reiner van der Hoorn is first up on the last day of #2025ISMPMI.
Clever use of blue/white screening to identify a bacterial inhibitor of plant beta-galactosidase. Pseudomonas-produced glycoserin mimics galactose!
Also found that glycoserin production stems from purine biosynthesis.
