How do the cells of one organism thrive in, on or near those of another? Investigating the biology of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae to find answers.
First year PhD student @nisha_roka28283 talking to a full house about her exciting project in my lab screening synthetic lichens for the ability to produce building materials from Mars regolith #Fungal24
Michael Richter from @WilsonLab doing a very nice job at #Magnafest2024 explaining how Acb1 contributes to BIC integrity in a temperature-dependent manner.
Delighted to have been the student-invited #plantpath seminar speaker at UC-Davis today, splendidly organized by @CharisRamsing, where I spoke about our recent tRNA modification and codon usage work. Thnx for all the great discussions! Next stop #Magnafest2024 then #Fungal24
Many thanks to the Korean Society of Plant Pathology for inviting me to give a plenary talk at the 2021 KSPP Online Fall International Conference. Hope we can all meet up again in person sometime!
.@raquelrochabio showing how it’s done in her defense. She will be discussing two stories: characterization of a novel determinant of pathogenicity involved in maintaining nucleotide pools, and the discovery of a determinant of appressorial adhesion
This is the very earliest iteration of my lab. L to R @lifeisgreen75 's husband Rolando, and the two undergrads Karina Stott and David Hartline. Karina just published in PNAS: pnas.org/content/early/2018/…
