Today is my first day as an Assistant Professor @NTUsg @ntusbs, after ten rewarding years working with my wonderful mentors @talbotlabTSL @wenboEffector and colleagues @TheSainsburyLab

Our latest article is now online! @PlantBiotechJ Expression of Arabidopsis FLS2 in N. benthamiana confers responsiveness to Ralstonia flg22 and activation of anti-bacterial immunity doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70… By Meng Li, Yujiao Chen, and Yali Wei (@albertopmacho.bsky.social)

🌾 Rising #CO2 may boost crop yields—but at a cost. A new review warns of reduced food quality, higher arsenic in rice, and growing health risks. Urgent action is needed to protect global #FoodSecurity Dongming Wang @joseppenuelas @csic @creaf @iec doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70…

Thank you Sophien! Very much looking forward to working with the team!

Luigi Fiorentino is getting insight into the #Verticillium dahliae effector repertoire during xylem infection of potato, zenodo.org/records/162610…

Guillermo Merino Martin is dissecting resistance to Phytophthora capsici in #pepper using #effectoromics, zenodo.org/records/162751…

Excited to preprint work mainly by former postdocs Li Feng, Yingnan Hou @Cerhou, and the phylogenomics genius @amiralito_ @TheSainsburyLab. We found a plant defense gene family enabling pathogen gene silencing & explored engineering this pathway to boost disease resistance!

We introduce a new tool to study F-actin remodeling, ADPact, a peptide sensor of ADP-actin. Unlike Lifeact and Phalloidin, which bind both ATP- and ADP-actin, ADPact only detects ADP-actin. It neither overlaps with cofilin nor affects treadmilling 🙌🤗. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We have a new version of OrthoFinder: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Faster scaling to larger species sets, phylogenetically resolved orthogroups, reduced RAM usage. Thanks to @dr_belcher, Yi Liu & Jonathan Holmes who have joined the team, and as ever OrthoFinder's PI @Steve__Kelly!

Our paper is now in @NatureBiotech! Topological velocity inference from spatial transcriptomic data. TopoVelo infers the direction of differentiation/migration; quantifies spatial cell influence; and identifies morphology changes during differentiation. 🧵rdcu.be/ewqMB

#2025ISMPMI Excited to share insights from my postdoc work at @TheSainsburyLab on NLR diversity and evolution in Caryophyllales phylogenomics 🥗 Join me at poster no.65 😊🤩

Want to find out more about publishing your work in @MPMIjournal? Please visit us at our @ISMPMI stand at #2025ISMPMI

Thrilled to share an aspect of my PhD project on the discovery and characterisation of a novel group of 'phosphorylated' effectors deployed by the rice blast fungus during infection. With @talbotlabTSL @Frank_Menke @NeftalyCM @TheSainsburyLab #2025ISMPMI

Poster session coming! Come visit our PHYTOMap methodology + microbiome combo! P-315 by @SiyuSong3 P-441 by @HsuanPai1 #2025ISMPMI Cologne

Up and ready! Find me at P-267 today for some molecular evolution and NLR biology! 🥬💻 You can also find the poster and preprint below 👇🏻 #2025ISMPMI

Thrilled to share our latest @biorxivpreprint! This work started during my PhD and was finished together with @JMadhuprakash. We found a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector that bridges a host TOL protein to activated NLRs to suppress immunity! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/15
