We're looking for a postdoc to join us in trying to map the routes by which different signals travel through plants and identify what information they carry. Link👇or get in touch! @johninnescentre.bsky.social #PlantSciJobs www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/po...

New pre-print from the team! The manuscript is @emma-raven.bsky.social's PhD work showing that whether a leaf is a carbon sink or a carbon source influences how they execute immune responses. Have a read! #PlantScience @johninnescentre.bsky.social

This Halloween, we have a spooky evolutionary story for you. The brainchild of @delaconcepcionjc.bsky.social, Nick Irwin and our fantastic collaborators is now out in @natplants.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... Here’s why I love this work — and why I think you’ll enjoy it too. 👇

We have a project available for 2026 NRP Doctoral Training Partnership entry (i.e. PhD studentship opportunity!) How do cells communicate when it's hot? Don't know? Me either! Come work with us @johninnescentre.bsky.social and figure it out biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/how...

Super excited to see our work on the NLRseek program finally published 🥳 Here we identify new NLRs against major wheat pathogens and present a pipeline for NLR identification. Huge thank you to all of the co-authors for bringing this work together! @matthewmoscou.bsky.social rdcu.be/eIGvv

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!

Shedding light on the structure-function mechanisms of LRR-RPs. Our research merges #AlphaFold3, years of literature and functional validation to reveal diverse ligand-binding mechanisms and a conserved co-receptor association mechanism. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations to @rvalenciaaz.bsky.social and his teammates who won the #AI track at @nucleate.bsky.social UK PlantHack with @aria-research.bsky.social. The 2-day hackathon brough together scientists from across the UK to reimagine UK agriculture with AI & synthetic biology.

Hi everyone! I’m new to Bluesky. At the beginning of the year, I moved to Zurich @UZH_en to start a postdoc with #CyrilZipfel and @pedrobeltrao.bsky.social, investigating protein phosphorylation in plants 🌱 If you’re nearby or working on something similar, let’s connect 😀

Next London Cell-free Biological Product Meeting: 🗓️ Monday, 16th June 2025 (1-5 pm) 📍 Imperial College London, South Kensington ✨ Keynote: Prof. Keith Pardee (Toronto) Limited talk slots available 📝 Register: forms.office.com/e/dbW6hJacmS #Cell-free #Biotech #ImperialCollege #UCL

Last night, the House of Lords debated Gene Edited plants. Green party members spoke much nonsense, including likening GE to "a child dismantling a clock and throwing the pieces into a microwave to see what happens." You can find a debate transcript here: www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id=20...

My group has newly joined Imperial, and I have a great team: Dr Molly Bergum, Charlotte Woolley, and Alexandra Butulan. We focus on the biosynthesis of natural products for the antimicrobials and resistance area, using both engineered microbes and cell-free systems @mollybergum.bsky.social

It is real! 🤩 I can touch it (after I printed it). Huge Congrats to everyone involved! 😀

We're looking for a postdoc to join the lab to work on cell-to-cell communication via the apoplast. Candidate must be brave, as they will have to lead us (me) away from the plasmodesmata-lands we've inhabited for so long! www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/po...

Pls repost 🚨I'm looking for someone excited about #proteindesign and #synbio to join my lab @Durham_Uni at the CPBM @cpbm-heddlelab.bsky.social to undertake a PhD using #synthetic knottins as novel #bioinsecticides. If you're interested please get in touch and check out the advert below 👇

Big shoutout to the incredible women in our lab—you inspire us every day 💪 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM

I had great fun hosting this! Huge thanks to the attendees for the really engaging session, everyone chipped in their effort and time (on a rainy evening). We can’t wait for the page we worked on to be out soon!
