#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 🌾

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster today at #2025ISMPMI! For those that missed it, you can check it out on Zenodo! zenodo.org/records/158805…

Looking forward to #2025ISMPMI soon! I'll be presenting during the Engineering Plant-Microbe Traits session on Thursday, 17th. I'll be sharing exciting collaborative work which will also be showcased by me at P-427 (Session 1, 14th) and Yuxuan Xi at P-193 (Session 2, 16th)!

Happy to have been featured in the Robigalia newsletter, led by @_Alyssa_Martino. I highly recommend checking out the newsletter for weekly plant pathology news and jobs/scholarships! robigalia.beehiiv.com/p/robigalia-ro…

Our first lichen paper led by ⁦@metalichen⁩ out today is out today - Complexity of the lichen symbiosis revealed by metagenome and transcriptome analysis of Xanthoria parietina - congratulations & thanks to all coauthors sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

An amazing piece of work and I’m so happy to have a played a part of it! Well done Gulnara!

Excited to share our review in @CDDPress! We explore how cell death 💀 is regulated in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae and summarize its role in appressorium development. 🌾🍄🔬 @talbotlabTSL @TheSainsburyLab See the full review here: nature.com/articles/s4141…

TSL will miss @NeftalyCM very much. We thank him for his many, varied and valuable contributions. We wish him well for the next exciting step of his career

Last few days to apply for a PhD studentship in my group for a project investigating the molecular control of virulence by the blast fungus. Please RT biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/ident…

It’s been an inspiring week with the launch of our new research partnership with @KCGEB1 followed by our Autumn Symposium with our Science Advisory Board, Trustee Directors and invited guests

Congratulations @dianagdlc and @mpcontreras4 - winners of the John Innes Foundation Prize for Excellence in Scientific Research for their PhD projects @TheSainsburyLab

🚀New update to #AlphaFold Database: Foldseek now integrated! Peer deeper into evolution with new structure-based search feature to find similar proteins with remote homology. The search includes experimentally-determined protein structures from @PDBe. ebi.ac.uk/about/news/upd…

@iris_eisermann presenting her beautiful and HUGE high-throughput septin interactome study in the blast fungus at the Conference of Molecular Biology of Fungi in Kiel! 😎👍

Great pre-print here answering two questions I've been too scared to ask! 1) Why are there so my Exo70s? 2) What does 'neofunctionalisation' even mean?

See the latest preprint from our group, led by @metalichen , we are very excited to share this latest insight into the nature of the lichen symbiosis! @TheSainsburyLab

Check out our latest preprint @TheSainsburyLab @metalichen - Multipartite complexity of the lichen symbiosis revealed by metagenome and transcriptome analysis of Xanthoria parietina biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New #preprint alert! #Lichen symbiosis is a great conundrum: how can multiple microbes create a large, 3D, and structurally complex organism? To answer this question, we used metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and a bit of protein structure modeling 🧵1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited and honored to be on this list! Of course not possible without my amazing @LES_UniBham @UoBbiosciences colleagues. This funding enables me to further explore the ever evolving story of ToxAs journey through different fungi within Starship transposons! #UKRIFLF

I am so glad to have the chance to present my work this morning at #ISCLB2024
