Glad to have participated in #PPATH2025 last week, sharing my work on proximity labeling in the apoplast as part of the ECPP talks, one last time before wrapping up my PhD 🎓🌱

Interested in TurboID-based biotinylation? Come by during the poster session at #NPNextgen this afternoon- happy to chat and share more!

Believe it or not, I was a professional boxer from the age of 14 before moving into academia. Funny how experiences from such a different world can end up shaping the way I think and work as a researcher😃.

Thrilled to be here in #Milwaukee for my first ASPB meeting 😃 If you're interested in epigenetics and plant microbe interactions, or the amazing AFE program, come say hi at poster 400-40 on Sunday or catch me around 👋🏻 #PlantBio2025 🌿

Norwich has a great structural biology community, join us :)

Sophien Kamoun @kamounlab.bsky.social · May 9

Tweeps, please spread the word. We're still looking at recruiting a structural biologist (any level) to study plant-pathogen protein complexes especially in the context of coevolution. Direct inquiries welcome.

Please include a cover letter.

Applicant from US welcome? medium.com/@kamounlab/2...

How Bacteria Outsmart Plants—Then Flee the Scene!

#MicroSky #PlantScience #Pseudomonas

Our new research in Nature Microbiology uncovers the sophisticated teamwork of Pseudomonas syringae, a notorious plant pathogen.

Pseudomonas syringae subpopulations cooperate by coordinating flagellar and type III secretion spatiotemporal dynamics to facilitate plant infection

Nature Microbiology - Single-cell gene expression analysis reveals phenotypic heterogeneity to enable bacterial specialization over the course of plant colonization.

So nice to see more and more work on visualizing interactions to dive into replication cycles… here with acanthamoeba and giant viruses ! Congrats @willemsenanouk.bsky.social !

Anouk Willemsen @willemsenanouk.bsky.social · May 8

New work out!

Spearheaded by Lotte, we have developed a single-molecule messenger RNA fluorescence in situ hybridisation (smFISH) protocol for #giantViruses in an #Acanthamoeba host.
