@thesainsburylab.bsky.social Independent research institute renowned for fundamental discoveries in molecular plant-microbe interactions to reduce crop losses
Norwich, UK
Joined June 2009
It’s been an absolute pleasure to be part of TSL for this long. I’m very grateful to everyone I’ve met along the way—I’ve learned a lot. I’ll miss TSL and Norwich so much. Tons of mixed feelings, leaving Norwich behind, and the excitement of new adventures ahead🇨🇭✨
After eight years at TSL, we say an emotional farewell to @dianagdlc who will, without doubt, continue to make fantastic and insightful discoveries in Zürich with Cyril Zipfel

@biorxivpreprint @unil 3/ Interesting reveal! The 2.12Å crystal structure shows that the peptide forms a cyclic structure with a disulfide bond. These new results highlight how small structural differences allow different ligand binding specificity even within conserved receptor families.

@biorxivpreprint @unil 2/ This work reveals the structure of a peptide-receptor pair previously identified at TSL ( https://t.co/9Fbb0y6WRQ) and by Liu, Hou et al ( https://t.co/YapIiOX0Te). So far, this conserved family of receptors was only known to bind linear peptides. https://t.co/dnFEHsy7pU
