Happy Chinese New Year!

A wonderful community of people ☺️ Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! 🎉🐍

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🌍👩‍🔬 We at The Sainsbury Laboratory celebrated by running a Wikipedia Editathon dedicated to creating pages for incredible women scientists and spotlighting their contributions to the advancement of plant science 🌱

TSL Ventures Coordinator, Damien Caubriere, kindly shared his experience moving to the UK from France. His 3-year visa cost £5000 upfront, most of which TSL reimburses. TSL's immigration costs increased ± 10-fold in 5 years due to skyrocketing surcharges. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

TSL is thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievement of Jonathan D G Jones, now a 2025 Wolf Prize Laureate in Agriculture along with Jeffery Dangl & Brian Staskawicz "for groundbreaking discoveries of the immune system and disease resistance in plants" tsl.ac.uk/news/jonathan-…

Yufei Li successfully defended her PhD. Congratulations! 🎉 Thanks to examiners Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social Philip Carella and the Dr. Wenbo Ma group

🧵The most underrated superpower in science: Bioinformaticians and wet biologists working together. Here’s why it matters.

The look of “mad” scientists 👩🏻‍🔬 Great conversations and interesting diagram drawing today at single- (brain) cell transcriptomics journal club! 🌱

We laughed, we cried, we said goodbye. Today we send off Barbara as she starts her PhD in Wageningen. It’s been a joy having her in our group as a Pre-Doc—she integrated beautifully at TSL and will be deeply missed. Go crush it, Barbara!

We are delighted to announce that TSL group leader, Professor Wenbo Ma Dr. Wenbo Ma, has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. This honour celebrates her groundbreaking research in molecular plant pathology.

Excited to share my new Tansley Review New Phytologist on emerging single-cell and spatial omics technologies, many of which are just beginning to be applied in plant biology! Big opportunities lie ahead for the field. [1/n]  nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Huge congratulations to Yordan Dolaptchiev for successfully defending his PhD thesis. The last PhD Jonathan D G Jones PhD student crowned king of the potato. Thanks to the examiners Holger Puchta and Cathie Martin

Now published online in New Phytologist 🎉 doi.org/10.1111/nph.70… This work was spearheaded by Shuang Yang from Xiaoming Pang's group in Beijing Forestry University who came to The Sainsbury Laboratory working with Dr. Wenbo Ma and myself. Jujube Witches' Broom Phytoplasma effector🧵⬇️(1/8)

The TSL Preprint Club assembled for the 8th edition of our Preprint Pizza Party 🍕, where students, postdocs and RAs got together to review the latest bioRxiv articles in the MPMI field. Comments will made public online soon! prereview.org/clubs/tsl-prep… #preprintcommentclub

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

Come visit us at the Royal Norfolk Show! We are at the STEMM Marquee. We will be here today and tomorrow and would love to share the science we do at The Sainsbury Laboratory 🔬🧬🦠🥔

A lovely day at the Royal Norfolk Show! Super thankful to everyone who came and listened to us talk about cool plants and pathogens :)

We’re ready! And we have a LIVE reporter today 😆 #RoyalNorfolkShow2025
