I finally got around to publishing my MPMI poster on 'Developing broad bean as a new model system for studying plant immunity'! We show that you can do HR assays, transient RNAi, and confocal microscopy in this legume species🌱🫘Check it out: zenodo.org/records/1631... #2025MPMI

Wonderful day @BangorUni Huge congratulations to Dr. @Alejandra211909 for passing her viva with minor corrections. Thanks to @DrCarrieBrady and @MojganRabiey for examining and George Turner for chairing. Look out for some cool papers in the near future!

Had an awesome time at ISMPMI and the honour to present some of our work! Greatful for the oppurtunity to meet new people, catch up with friends, and see and discuss some great science! If you want to learn more the poster is up online: zenodo.org/records/158817…

Graduation day for two of @TheSainsburyLab #Proteomics team members. Congratulations @DraegerMarkus PhD and @Miicchae1 MSc. Double #ProudSupervisor

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

🚨New @biorxivpreprint alert! We are thrilled to share our latest findings—building on our earlier work on suppressors of helper NLRs of NRC family—a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector captures resistosome assembly intermediates of tomato NRC3! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10

🎉 Exciting news during #2025ISMPMI Our AlphaFold 3 sensor vs helper NLR paper is now published in @NewPhyt! Big thanks to the reviewers for their constructive feedback 🙏 📖 Check out the peer-reviewed version here 👇 🔗 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… x.com/YuSugiharaY/st…

Great reunion of (part of) the PERU receptor team at #2025ISMPMI 🙌🥳 Joining forces to improve PRR-mediated immunity against Late Blight 🥔🌱🧬 @adnroide @VivianneTwit @Yerisf_TA @LishaZhang2 @amiralito_

#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 😊🤩

#2025ISMPMI Want to know about transcriptional regulation driving pathogenicity in the blast fungus? Come to my poster (P-156) session today! From 13:30 to 15:15 🌾

🎉 My poster is up and ready to go at #2025ISMPMI. Excited to share our work on SynComs for pathogen suppression in oak trees 🌳🧫 Check out poster P-324 during Session 2 - I'll be presenting on Thu, 13.30-15.15 pm

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

#ISMPMI2025 Happy to present today my poster about a newly discovered type III effector protein in P. syringae! Please come and visit P-155 today to discuss the story! @michhulin @RobWJackson

Check out this wonderful story from @JMadhuprakash and Ben Seager! An L-shaped effector suppresses NRC activation by blocking resistosome assembly half way through!

Proud of PERU #potato poster at the MPMI2025 meeting in Cologne! ⁦@Brabrara_⁩ ⁦@Yerisf_TA⁩

Here is ⁦@EuanCawston⁩ at his poster. #2025ISMPMI #proudsupervisor

#2025ISMPMI @Tolga_Bzkrt introduces the effector and immune processes occurring at Phytophthora haustoria. The helper NRC4 localises to haustoria and upon activation inserts itself into the extrahaustorial membrane forming punctuate foci. It seems activated NLRs beep annoyingly.
