A belated welcome to our duo of Argentinian predocs. Maian Garro Maián and Juan Azcue Juan Azcue who joined us from Santa Fe and Buenos Aires. We're thrilled to have their energy, curiosity, and fresh perspectives in the lab! kamounlab.tumblr.com/post/785870746…

Thrilled to be here! Armed with mate and motivation, let's do great science 🧉🧬🌱

Thanks Sophien Kamoun for the warm welcome! Grateful to join this team. Ready to dive in, learn, and do great science together 💪🏼😎

Congratulations Dr Berlaine Quime who successfully defended her PhD today! Halpin Scholar #9 PhD#44 ⁦The Sainsbury Laboratory⁩ ⁦Berlaine Quime⁩

We are excited to welcome Amal Boukteb Amal Boukteb to our team. Amal was previously at INRAT 🇹🇳, where she worked on parasitic plants. She is one of the pioneers of Tunis R-Users Group R-Ladies Tunis You can listen to her seminar by following link below. kamounlab.tumblr.com/post/786712184…

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining ZMBP as a Junior Group Leader in October 2025! My lab will explore the functional and structural diversity of plant immune receptors. 1/2 #NewPI #PlantImmunity #NLRs #PlantScience #StructuralBiology

I’ll advertise a fully funded PhD position soon, so watch this space! Also open to hosting candidates for PostDoc fellowships. If you're attending this year's IS-MPMI meeting in Cologne, let me know and we can meet up! 😀 2/2

Plz RT. We are looking for a postdoc to join our collborative project on AI-guided bioengineering of plant immune receptors Tolga Bozkurt and Jiorgos Kourelis labs: jobs.ac.uk/job/DNV032/res…

Looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues at #2025ISMPMI next week! Find me at P-267 >>> Session 1, Monday, 14th. In the meantime, you can check out my poster on Zenodo :) #openscience zenodo.org/records/158379…

Thrilled to share our latest bioRxiv! This work started during my PhD and was finished together with Jogi Madhuprakash. We found a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector that bridges a host TOL protein to activated NLRs to suppress immunity! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/15

Lots to celebrate today — from preprints and papers to fellowships (and a few more I’m surely forgetting)! 🎉👏 Huge congrats to all. Great to see teamwork and dedication paying off! 🥂

Thrilled to join #ISMPMI2025! 🌿🧬 Can AIphaFold 3 tell sensor vs helper NLRs? 🤖 📍 P-452 | Tue 15 Jul | 09:55-11:30 Can’t be there? Grab the poster on Zenodo 👉 doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… #OpenMPMI #OpenScience

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

A plant pathogen effector blocks stepwise assembly of a helper NLR resistosome biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_plants

Check out this wonderful story from Jogi Madhuprakash 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! ⁦Barbara Schrammel⁩ ⁦Yerisf Torres Ascurra⁩

🚨New bioRxiv 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

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 Nick Talbot Frank Menke Neftaly Cruz Mireles The Sainsbury Laboratory #2025ISMPMI
