A dream finally came true. Very excited and happy to call myself finally Dr Haider.

Next up #PPATH2025 is Leena @Leena_Tripathi all the way from @IITA_CGIAR Ibadan, Nigeria 🇳🇬 on biotech solutions to Banana Streak Virus 🦠 and Banana Xanthomonas Wilt

Excited to be at #PPATH2025, #ECPP2025. If you are around come see my poster on Zymoseptoria tritici and early immune suppression strategies. 👨‍🔬

Really happy this is out in preprint - Congratulations to @graemekettles.bsky.social @zymohaider.bsky.social, and everyone involved for their hard work completing this study! It examines a Z. tritici effector that is a molecular mimic of plant LRRs, and suppresses PTI www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Haider Ali, Megan C. McDonald, and Graeme J. Kettles developed a rapid forward genetics methodology to identify genes that enable Zymoseptoria tritici to gain virulence on previously resistant wheat varieties. Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI...

🔬 New from the Farnung Lab: We established a fully in vitro reconstituted chromatin replication system and report the first cryo-EM snapshots of the human replisome engaging nucleosomes. Brilliant work by @felixsteinruecke.bsky.social with support from @jonmarkert.bsky.social! tinyurl.com/replisome

The @bspp.bsky.social Undergraduate Vacation Bursary Scheme applications are open🎉

Delighted to see the fantastic projects on offer! (I'm a little more biased than usual this year 😉)

📅 Deadline: April 14th

Excited to be at #ECFG17! If you’re here, stop by my poster to chat about immune suppression by Zymoseptoria tritici effectors. Looking forward to great discussions! #PlantPathology #Zymo #Effectors

New Phytologist Stomata Seminar Video available (by Sally Assmann and myself). Thanks again for this fantastic opportunity to share our work and perspectives 🌱🥰!

HI old friends! Finally took the leap here to say I have several open positions going in my lab at the moment (and more to come).
1) PhD studentship in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society (genomics)
2) Biochemistry Postdoc to understand how Starships move

Please check our latest paper on using @deep-mind.bsky.social AlphaFold 3 to study NLR immune receptors. Here we use AI-guided structural modelling to distinguish between sensor and helper NLRs! 👇🧵 (1/10) #EvoMPMI #NLRbiology #PlantPath #PlantSci

Thrilled to announce Boltz-1, the first open-source and commercially available model to achieve AlphaFold3-level accuracy on biomolecular structure prediction! An exciting collaboration with Jeremy, Saro, and an amazing team at MIT and Genesis Therapeutics. A thread!
