As seen on @biorxivpreprint: our story on how the dreaded late blight pathogen hijacks a helper NLR pathway is now out in its final form in @ScienceAdvances 🎉

Fantastic story led by @dianagdlc. Aside from the science, I also really appreciate the careful design and color choices in all the figures. Impressive work! 👏🏽
So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵and link to the original preprint thread👇

And that's a wrap-up from my story at @TheSainsburyLab. After amazing 8 years working at TSL in Norwich, I've now joined the Zipfel lab at the University of Zurich in beautiful🇨🇭 to switch gears and work on plant peptides and extracellular immune receptors. Exciting times!

Wonderful story and excellent 🧵 from one of the pioneers of AlphaFold-guided bioengineering of plant immune receptors! 🔥
-AF2 predictions enabled stacking recognition of TWO pathogens 🦠 in ONE crop NLR 🌾.
-The engineered NLR even works in barley transgenics! 🧬💪🤯👇

How cool is it that wheat stem rust has five different types of spores🫨🫨🫨? Check out the new review by Ces, Diane & the team about epidemiological forecast of wheat stem rust : tinyurl.com/5d7hkzwu
Huge thanks for the opportunity to prepare the life cycle diagram!

Excited to share that I will start my lab this summer as an ECL Unit Leader at RIKEN CSRS!
We will study perception by cell-surface receptors across diverse plant species.
I’ll be recruiting soon, so please reach out if you’re interested!
