My lab at the JIC is recruiting 3 PDRA: 🔹 Bioinformatics / AI 🔹 Molecular Biology / Genetics 🔹 Proteomics Programme funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. 📅 Closing date: 27 February Apply via JIC website: www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/ Please share with outstanding candidates. 🙏

Plants use cell-surface and intracellular receptors that collaborate to detect pathogens🦠. We discovered that a key #ubiquitin recognition event recruits both receptor types into an unexpected dual receptor complex that boost the translation of defence proteins and establishes robust #PlantImmunity👇🏾

Fantastic opportunity to join this exciting new group led by @delaconcepcionjc.bsky.social . Cryo-ET of infection-related development in pathogenic fungi - including rice blast - an exciting, game-changing prospect. Apply below 👇

Please share! We are looking for a PhD student (4 years) starting from 01/05/2026 at @ipbhalle.bsky.social! If you are interested in plant immunity, receptor biochemistry and evolution, consider applying! Deadline 09/03/2026. Application portal: ipb-halle.mhm.jobs/10-phd-posit...

📢 Job alert! @delaconcepcionjc.bsky.social, junior group leader at #ZMBP, has 2 open positions (PhD and postdoc) to investigate appressoria formation in plant pathogenic #fungi using #cryoEM and #cryoET #EmmyNoether #MPMI #plantscijob More info 👇

Please share! My group at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social is offering a post-doctoral position (4 years). We look for a structural biologist with experience in Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET to investigate the mechanisms of host invasion by pathogenic fungi. Deadline February 28th! uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet...

1/12 I'm ecstatic to share my preprint on legume NLR tissue expression! We investigated the NLRomes of 28 legumes + 4 outgroups, examining tissue expression across 7 legume species. Paper thread below 🧵👇 @thesainsburylab.bsky.social @itqbnova.bsky.social 🔗https://doi.org/10.64898/2026.01.25.701577

The fourth lecture of the course is now available on YouTube :) We will review how Transformers and modern LLMs work youtu.be/vUpb6O6T2yQ Slides drive.google.com/file/d/1y2Vj... For now, the English version is only available through the automatic translation of the subtitles.

New lab preprint - Common and rare variant studies for the same trait identify different genes and here Diederik Laman Trip developed a protein network AI enconding to investigate if traits studied by different approaches converge on the same molecular pathways www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very greatfull to work with this brilliant and diverse bunch that make up the #proteomics team @thesainsburylab.bsky.social. #Awayday. 🇨🇦🇫🇴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇵🇭🇬🇭🇨🇳🇨🇿🇩🇪🇳🇱

Spooky season has arrived! 👻 We held our annual Pumpkin Carving Competition at @thesainsburylab.bsky.social —vote for your favourite carve! 🎃🕯️

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

Excited to visit @ihsmumacsic.bsky.social this Friday. Looking forward to connecting with everyone there!

Muy contento de visitar @ihsmumacsic.bsky.social en Málaga. Nos vemos el viernes!

See you all in Prague! 🌱🧬🥳

Increasing the time limits post PhD for ERC starting grant applications is a bad idea. It will mean fewer junior PIs getting an ERC at the start of the group. Those complaining about the previous time limits will not really benefit. The competition will be higher. erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

🚨 Preprint alert!! Thrilled to share our new story where we report the discovery of a new sporophytic maternal-effect mutant in Arabidopsis. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share some of our work on ubiquitin at this seminar!

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 😀
