Very proud that @javebautista17 represented our group @TheSainsburyLab so well at the @IPMBSinica Early Career Symposium.
Thrilled to have attended and presented @IPMBSinica Early Career Symposium 2026. Really good to learn all the fascinating science in plant and microbiology in the last two days. @TheSainsburyLab

In Cologne for International Symposium of Cell Death - fantastic interdisciplinary group assembled here. #CellDeath
Latest preprint from our group. We found the Bip1 transcription factor is phosphorylated in a Pmk1-dependent manner & with Mst12 co-regulates appressorium-specific functions, as well as acting on genes controling invasive growth. Led by @camilla_moli
