Laura T. Wey

Funded position available to join my new team at @UniTurku Finland to do a PhD exploring how circadian clocks regulate extracellular electron transfer in photosynthetic cells. Application open until end of summer, start by end of year. Please share/apply ats.talentadore.com/apply/vaitoski…

Our latest paper is out now in @J_A_C_S. In this study we tried to push the limits of #electrochemistry beyond proteins, to studying entire pathways of biological electron transfer ⚡️🦠. Here's a summary 🧵 (1/10) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

I'm excited to start my independent research group on Bioelectricity in Plant Sciences at @UniTurku with a @novonordiskfond Emerging Investigator grant. I will open funded positions in Autumn 2025 to join from Spring 2026. Please email if you see a match. utu.fi/en/news/press-…

Our paper on how light-induced pH changes control the thylakoid membrane association and activity of flavodiiron proteins in Synechocystis is out @NewPhyt! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Are you interested in studying the most important reaction in the universe, #photosynthesis? I have an open position for a doctoral researcher (PhD student) in my project on bioenergetics of cyanobacteria @UniTurku. For more info and to apply: ats.talentadore.com/apply/vaitoski…

I am so happy to share the preprint of my latest research project. Great collaboration with @LENikkanen biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I have an open position for a postdoctoral researcher in my group! If you're interested in investigating the regulation of bioenergetics in photosynthetic bacteria @UniTurku, please go to ats.talentadore.com/apply/tutkijat… for more info and to send an application

Here's something a little different to our usual research. In our new perspective out now in Applied Phycology (@bps_algae), we describe how you can use the electrical signals of algae to generate music 🦠⚡️🎵. 🧵1/12 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I will be looking for a postdoc and a PhD student soon, so if you're interested in investigating bioenergetics of #photosynthesis in #cyanobacteria @UniTurku please don't hesitate to contact me already!

Our new preprint on PGR5 and regulation of ATP synthase under fluctuating light is out! We took a multi-species approach and studied pmf dynamics in Arabidopsis, Chlamydomonas, Setaria viridis, Synechocystis, as well as Synechococcus.

PGR5 is needed for redox-dependent regulation of ATP synthase both in chloroplasts and in cyanobacteria biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

Students from #TSYK high school visited us in April to learn about #photosynthesis, #microalgae and our #research. With the help of Iia, Tuomas and Laura they got hands-on experience with microalgae immobilisation and photoinhibition fluorescence measurements. #outreach #science
