Early bird registration closing soon (31st March) for this years International Symposium on Cereal Leaf Blights ISCLB2026 to be held in Banff. I am devastated to miss out due to schedule conflicts but it's sure to be an amazing meeting!

Our latest pre-print on TE-mediated tandem duplication of the ToxB effector is now online...still a puzzle for us but we think it is in a Helitron! Together with amazing collaborators, Reem Aboukhaddour and Ryan Gourlie #TE #fungi www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Want to understand how entire fungal chromosomes can be horizontally transferred? Join us to unravel the mechanism/consequences of horizontal chromosome transfer in a fungal pathogen as part of an ERC-funded project. Postdoc/PhD positions available. fungal-evolutionary-genetics.de/open-positio...

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!

Very excited to have our small contribution to the growing Starship field now published @mbio.bsky.social, as always a great peer review process with one of my favorite society journals

I have extended the deadline to apply for this post-doctoral role to work with me on the Biochemistry of Starship Transposon to this Sunday the 5th of January...original deadline set on a holiday set by HR (not me)! edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

@unibirmingham.bsky.social PhD opportunity with the RHS "Not so sweet; Investigating the adaptive potential of the generalist pathogen, Honey fungus, under future climates" info warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fa... supervisors @mcdonaldmeganc.bsky.social & @jassydrak.bsky.social

HI old friends! Finally took the leap here to say I have several open positions going in my lab at the moment (and more to come). 1) PhD studentship in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society (genomics) 2) Biochemistry Postdoc to understand how Starships move Check out the links below!
