I am passionate about biotrophic interactions. My research group has its main focus on elucidating effectors and their functions.
📣 Plant Physiology welcomes new Assistant Features Editors starting in 2025 and 2026!👉 academic.oup.com/plphys/advance… A big thanks, to those who are stepping down from the position!👏
#2025ISMPMI Plz. Follow @ effectomics where the sky is blue.

Plz RT. We are looking for a postdoc to join our collborative project on AI-guided bioengineering of plant immune receptors @Tolga_Bzkrt and @JiorgosKourelis labs: jobs.ac.uk/job/DNV032/res…
Proud to see this story out! Here we show how the biotrophic gall inducing fungus Ustilago maydis uses molecular signaling components of the lateral root initiation pathway to induce gall formation in the maize shoot. Many thanks to all involved.
Please check the latest preprint from our lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We show that the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis hijacks components of the lateral root initiation pathway to induce gall formation in maize leaves. Big thanks to everyone involved!
We are excited to share our new story with you! We show how losing a binding domain can flip an antimicrobial effector into a host immune suppressor, highlighting functional specialization across the saprotrophy–symbiosis spectrum. Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Researchers have developed biosensors that can be used to measure the ratio of NADPH to NADP⁺ in living cells in real time for the first time. @Saar_Uni @schwarzland_lab @morgan_lab_uds @niemeier_jan @Riemerlab @NatureComms doi.org/10.1038/s41467… & uni-muenster.de/news/view.php?…
Happy to share our last technical advance in detecting small plant peptides using ELISA. Take a look!👇 track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=Qi…
The Quint lab in Halle offers an independent Postdoc position for up to 6 years! Great place to develop your own research line! Plz retweet and spread the word!

More opportunities! Besides a PhD student (other post) we are looking for postdocs! One on Quantitative Disease Resistance mechansims! One on Population Genomics of barley pathogens! The positions can start Feb 2025. For extremely well-fitting candidates can delay the date.
We're looking for a PhD student on disease mechanisms of the barley pathogen Ramularia collo cygni, supported by a (tax free) fellowship. Please RT.
📢We offer a #PhDPosition in Molecular basis of #trichome development and metabolism under heat stress in the Tissier lab @trichomeIPB! Apply until Dec 31, 2024! More information: ipb-halle.de/en/career/job-… #PhD #Career #PlantSciJobs #SciJobs #PlantSci
How does a fungal pathogen induce hypertrophy? Yoon Joo Lee investigated three cooperative effectors that disrupt carbohydrate signaling in maize and induce hypertrophy in mesophyll cells. Another great collab with @Grandpa_Hiro & @ChemicalSara82 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We're looking for a full professor Plant Breeding (Kiel University, Germany). The position comes with good labs, glasshouses, technical and administrative staff and one or two permanent postdoc positions to be filled freely. Questions? Feel free to contact me!
Excited to share that our work on the tillandsioids' transition from land to air got published: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… #transcriptomics #evolution
Out now at @NatureComms. The latest work from Andreas Houben @LeibnizIPK and others on genetic mechanisms of B chromosome drive. Happy that we could contribute a bit. @IPB_Halle @UniHalle @Uni_MR 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4146…
