We are happy to welcome Prof. Isabel Saur that presents her work on plant pathogens and takes part in the PhD committee of Tobi
We’ve successfully wrapped up the Plant Physiology practical course for almost 300 students. Fantastic work by the entire team!
Today we welcome Jonah, who will explore signaling pathways in tomato roots as part of his research module.
Till has successfully finished his research module, advancing an induced protein degradation approach. Great job.
We are happy to welcome Laureen for her Bachelor thesis work. She will study specific stress responses in Arabidopsis roots.
Our first lab BBQ by the Aasee to celebrate successful research module of Hannah and Nabila (postdoc) joining our lab!!!
We were happy to host Prof. Niko Geldner from the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) for a special seminar
After an inspiring talk on signaling specificity in Arabidopsis roots, we had a lunch together and made a group photo!
Coming soon: the international Plant Peptide and Receptor Meeting 2026!
Inauguration Lecture
Ora gave her Inauguration Lecture, followed by celebration with colleagues and family!
A new collaborative paper published in Chemistry: A European Journal
We could recently test a new fluorescent dye called PyPe developed by the colleagues from Chemistry Department (UniFR, CH). We could show that it has a low toxicity in plant cells. PyPe stains cell walls and penetrates cytoplasm, but is not labelling plasma membrane.
Ora and Tobias attend the Plant Peptides and Receptors Meeting in Edinburgh.
Ora gave a talk as an invited speaker and Tobias presented a poster on BIRKs!
Ora Presents Root Water-Conducting Tissue Findings at FASEB
25.08.2025: Ora presented the latest findings on the development of water-conducting tissues in roots at the prestigious international scientific conference (FASEB: Mechanisms in Plant Development) near Boston, USA.
Training week in Switzerland
Tobias had a research training week in Switzerland with Dr. Salves Cornelis and Morgane Gulle.
