Really excited to join Stanford ChemE this September! We'll engineer proteins in plant immune and hormone pathways, combining high-throughput directed evolution with ML. Our goal is to enhance climate stress resilience and disease resistance in crops: rim.stanford.edu

I’m honored to share the illustration accompanying our receptor engineering paper in Nature Plants. Created by the talented Phoebe Sinner from the Coaker lab, this artwork elegantly highlights how natural diversity contributes to differences in receptor specificity.

Happy to share that the last piece of my thesis is finally out! Here, we designed and delivered a dual PRR stack in potato to control vector-borne and soil-borne bacterial pathogens, Ca. Liberibacter solanacearum and Ralstonia solanacearum. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It’s my great honor to be part of this project and happy to see this part of my thesis work finally out in Nature Plants!

#2025ISMPMI 📣 In silico screening of PRR-epitope interactions is now possible!

Here, we developed mamp-ml to predict their immunogenic outcomes without structural context. Let's accelerate engineering plant receptors for robust resistance! 🚀🌱 Small 🧵
