Excited about this collaboration and looking for a soil viromics postdoc (available immediately, hoping for someone who can start by January-ish). DM or email me if interested!

A new interview in our Women in Plant Biology Interview Series is OUT!👇👇👇 Meet with Professor Gitta Coaker from University of California, Davis. She is working in the field of plant-microbe interactions: plantae.org/interview-with…

Our review is out! Written by Jerry Tianrun Li (李天润） and Alba Moreno Pérez. Plant Pattern recognition receptors: Exploring their evolution, diversification, and spatiotemporal regulation authors.elsevier.com/a/1jo7O4tPF3xn…

Please check out our recent review on PRR! (Alba and I are equally contributed, details about the 🎲 is in the article😂)

It’s been great to be back to the UK, to catch up with colleagues and to meet new people. Thank you all for hosting and Chandler Sutherland for being a fantastic travel companion. Chandler giving a seminar - sketch by Alex Cagan

Guess what I found today. Online course contents for Experimental Design and Analysis with R at UC Davis (listed as Plant Sciences 205 at UC Davis). I took it back in 2017 when I was a PhD student, but now it is also online! I highly recommend. deruncie.github.io/PLS205_course/

🚨 A new twist in #NLRbiology! 🚨 Excited to report on the surprising mechanism where the helper NLR NRG1 targets organellar membranes to trigger immunity unlike canonical CC-NLRs, which function at the plasma membrane! 1/11 🧵 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

One of the best parts of my job is when your student comes up with cool connections to explain their observations that you never thought of.

Perfect meeting for plant cell biologists!!!

We have a podcast! 🎤 Using NotebookLM we created engaging conversations about our work and others cool work interesting for the lab First 2️⃣ episodes out: 1. Canola resistance genes discovered (us) 2. Engineering plant immunity (Gitta Coaker team work!) open.spotify.com/show/1k1EGDexH…

Part of my postdoctoral work in the Ronald lab is on bioRxiv! We applied directed evolution to engineer a new-to-nature immune recognition range in a rice immune receptor

Congratulations to Jingtao and Prof. Wenxing Liang. Glad that I have contributed to this great work. nature.com/articles/s4147…

Thinking of my colleagues, friends and family in Florida today, Glad we were able to convince family to evacuate Tampa Bay. It’s going to be a horrific hurricane.

🌍🦟Recent findings challenge the belief that male mosquitoes only feed on plant sugars. A study on Culex tarsalis and Aedes aegypti shows that, when dehydrated, males can consume blood and even transmit the West Nile virus like females.🔗 Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations Alba Moreno Pérez! We are lucky to have your expertise the lab. 🎉

The world best Alba Moreno Pérez ！

Thanks Gitta Coaker for insightful talk and exciting work on tandem kinase and single cell RNAseq to reveal spatial defense IPMB Academia Sinica (中研院植微所) Great time for scientific discussion and casual chatting with Gitta LaySunMa （馬麗珊） Chih-Hang Wu
