Professor for phytopathology and plant protection at MLU Halle-Wittenberg. Former group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tuebingen. Adaptive evolution of filamentous plant pathogens 🌾🍄🧬. Love nature and music 🎸🥁 dogfather 🐕

Highly recommended! PhD and postdoc opportunities in a great lab, with a super nice and creative PI, in a lovely city/region! If you want to be part of a young and dynamic group, run dont walk!

PLEASE SHARE! New job openings in my lab @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social. We have a broad interest into the mechanistic basis of how molecular complexes are rewired during cellular development in plants and during invasion by pathogens. 🌱🍄🔬 See details below 👇 #PlantSciJobs

Convergent gene family evolution underpins repeated transitions to metamorphic development across Pancrustacea

Arthropod developmental modes are highly diverse, ranging from direct development with little morphological change between moults to metamorphic life-stage progressions characterised by profound trans...

Excited to see our new preprint on bioRxiv! 🌱🤖 We used AI protein design (RFdiffusion + ProteinMPNN) to build brand-new sensor domains from scratch and installed them in a rice NLR immune receptor engineering recognition of a Fusarium effector FoSSP17

Our new preprint is out! Using AI-guided design (RFdiffusion + ProteinMPNN), we engineered a plant immune receptor to recognise non-cognate pathogen effectors. Huge thanks to our amazing co-authors for making this possible! doi.org/10.64898/202...

The SynBio team’s plasmid collection is one of the coolest aspects of @thesainsburylab.bsky.social What’s even cooler is their vision of sharing it with everyone and the partners who are helping make it happen 💪 🧬
