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!

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.
