Congrats, great to see it out!

Exciting to see our protein binder design pipeline BindCraft published in its final form in @Nature ! This has been an amazing collaborative effort with Lennart, Christian, @sokrypton.org, Bruno and many other amazing lab members and collaborators.

And I'll be presenting poster #400-31 tomorrow (Sunday 27 July) from 17:30-19:00 on heavy metal associated-domain containing proteins in rice 🌾

Excited to be in Milwaukee for the @plantphys.bsky.social editorial board meeting and Plant Biology conference #PlantBio25 🌿

Very grateful to the Plant Phys AFE program for this opportunity and looking forward to great discussions over the coming days!

Our paper is now online in Science Advances! Congrats @saskiahogenhout.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social and all coauthors!

I am looking for a (bio)chemist to join the lab and help us making affinity-based probes for proteases! The project is truly interdisciplinary with a strong computational chemistry component, peptide synthesis and plant biochemistry!
Text me if interested and please spread the word!

🎉 Exciting news during #2025ISMPMI
Our AlphaFold sensor vs helper NLR paper is now published in @newphyt.bsky.social‬!

Big thanks to the reviewers for their constructive feedback 🙏

After great talks at #2025ISMPMI on de novo design of pathogen protein binders for receptor engineering - perfect timing for this preprint from colleagues at the Centre de Biologie Structurale!

#2025ISMPMI 📣 In silico screening of PRR-epitope interactions is now possible!

Here, we developed mamp-ml to predict their immunogenic outcomes without structural context. Let's accelerate engineering plant receptors for robust resistance! 🚀🌱 Small 🧵

If you're at #2025ISMPMI, please come talk to me if you have comments/questions/feedback!

I'll be presenting some of this work in the poster session on Thursday (P-212) and in the concurrent session "Structure Informed Synthetic Biology: From Design to Function" on Thursday afternoon.

I'm massively grateful to all co-authors, but especially to co-first author Svenja Saile, who is both an incredibly rigorous and conscientious scientist and a wonderful colleague 🌱

Very happy to share our preprint on heavy metal associated (HMA) domain-containing rice proteins bound by the rice blast MAX effector AVR-Pia! 🌾

Such a great evening with past and present members of the CIME team! #2025ISMPMI @phimresearch.bsky.social

Connections are in action in Cologne! At #2025ISMPMI, the poster sessions aren’t just about groundbreaking research—they’re about meeting peers, collaboration, and sharing ideas that move plant-microbe science forward.
