Please get in touch on here or via email if you are interested and I can provide further details! Lab website: sites.google.com/site/danielg...
- Sometimes being a supervisor, project leader, mentor, or professor can feel quite lonely. I miss my PhD and postdoc days — it was the sense of community, the great interactions, and the feeling of belonging to a family that kept me sane in academia @academic-chatter.bsky.social #academicChatter
- Reposted by Suayb ÜstünSurreal to hear folks don't think agricultural biosecurity isnt a national security risk and a massive strategic weakness for ALL countries on earth. We are very very VERY not secure when it comes to food production. We are one big blight away from ruin. Everyone needs to eat.

- Reposted by Suayb ÜstünI am extremely happy and honoured to share with you that I received an #ERCStG! It has been an amazing journey. 🤘 Thank you so much for the encouragement and support from mentors, colleagues, friends and family during my career through different countries in Europe. 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇬🇧🇨🇭🇳🇱 1/3
- 📣 The ERC Starting Grant call results are out! Find out which early-career researchers will receive funding this year, what they will be investigating, where they will be based... plus lots of other #ERCStG facts & figures for 2025! ➡️ buff.ly/IsafuFh #FrontierResearch 🇪🇺#EUfunded #HorizonEurope

- Reposted by Suayb ÜstünHonoured & excited that ‘Breathing Underground’ has been funded by the ERC! This will let me explore one of the most fundamental questions of plant life: how roots breathe underground? @erc.europa.eu
- Reposted by Suayb ÜstünSuper excited and honoured to have been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for CooPAIRation! How do plant immune receptors work together to trigger an immune response? Can we modulate immune responses for disease resistance? We will tackle these questions in CooPAIRation Positions to be announced soon!

- Wow - congrats to all plant scientists! @izzysaurlab.bsky.social @pfeilmeier.bsky.social @jiorgoskourelis.bsky.social @clemmar.bsky.social @vinayshukla.bsky.social @tinaschreier.bsky.social so great to see 🌱s being rewarded the ERC StG!
- The new ERC Starting Grant - funded projects include: ✴️ redefining false memories ✴️ making artificial touch feel more natural and realistic ✴️ how aging reshapes human tissues ✴️ ADHD in adults vs childhood ✴️ how plants shield from excessive sun exposure Discover more 👉 buff.ly/APfNmCK
- Almost missed this one! Congrats @plantophagy.bsky.social and all people involved! This is certainly such a good resource for everybody!
- 7 years ago,I sat outside @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social,gathering the courage to begin a new chapter as a group leader. Now in Bochum, I still need that courage to face challenges—both inside & outside the lab—but after all I’m grateful that I still find joy in what I do. #happybirthday #theustunlab
- Job alert 📣 Our faculty looks for a Junior Professor W1 with tt to W2 in Membrane Biology! We are looking for #ECRs working on membrane biogenesis,contact sites,composition & other aspects of membranes in 🌱 and other organisms! DM me if you need more details! jobs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jobposting/f...
- candidates should address key questions of lipid metabolism, membrane maintenance or modulation of the membrane in response to varying environmental conditions in microbes, animals or plants. You‘ll have access to great facilities such as our microscopy unit (Leica STELLARIS 8🔬) & many more. APPLY ❗️

- Indeed like @plantophagy.bsky.social said we are digging into this and think we found the selective autophagy receptor/module in Arabidopsis. But as usual it will take some time to fully prove it (genetics 🙃)
- Reposted by Suayb ÜstünIf you’re enjoying some calm while others are on holiday, here’s a #NEW #preprint to dive into — led by the brilliant @vbcscitraining.bsky.social student A. Abdrakhmanov: 👇 A quick thread + link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Tired of what‘s happening in the world and surrounding - I guess I‘ll just stay here for awhile and disappear #offline

- We (@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social @margotraffeiner.bsky.social @shanshuo.bsky.social) had a fantastic #2025ISMPMI in Cologne with lots of amazing science and great networking meeting old friends and new ones. Hope to see you all next time in Jeju/South Korea #2027ISMPMI

- Great talk by @teamthomma.bsky.social who shows that effectors have antimicrobial activities that are ancesteral - other functions within the host have evolved later on to suppress immunity in plants #2025ISMPMI
- in the light of evolution it makes so much sense that effectors from pathogens have „ancesteral“ functions and „evolved“ further functions once plants „appeared“ - it‘s a great new concept by @teamthomma.bsky.social and thought-provoking 🤓 #2025ISMPMI

- Last plenary of #2025ISMPMI started (🥲) @algazuccaro.bsky.social will talk about the exciting findings of her group on effectors of mutualistic fungi
- We conclude the session with Yi-Feng Chen wo will talk about organelle dynamics in resistosome-mediated HR. Or more simple: What happens actually during HR in the host cell? #2025ISMPMI See also their preprint with some fantastic cell biology 🤩 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- Next in the concurrent session “spatial and temporal session” is @type3lab.bsky.social who will talk about their amazing findings on distinct pseudomonas subpopulations that cooperate to colonize plants #2025ISMPMI
- see also their very elegant publication #2025ISMPMI www.nature.com/articles/s41...
