Congratulations to Gautam Dey (EMBL) and Omaya Dudin (University of Geneva) for being awarded the EMBO Gold Medal 2026 in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the #LifeSciences in Europe! 🧪 https://www.embo.org/press-releases/embo-gold-medal-2026-awarded-to-gautam-dey-and-omaya-dudin/
🔜Two postdoc positions are available in Rouached Lab for a creative individual to lead a project that will explore a new dimension in the field of plant nutrition. Please contact me if you are interested in TOR signaling, epigenetic and/or plant development [email protected]
So proud to share our latest publication @CellCellPress! Yue Rui reveals that the same enzyme that makes the wall, cellulose synthase complex (CESA), also tethers the plasma membrane to the wall during water-deficit stress, providing resilience. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very happy to see that SUBER GENE1 (SBG1; At1g52565) is now annotated in TAIR and Aramemnon!
We identified this gene through a GWAS on natural variation in endodermal suberin and had the privilege of naming it.
For those interested, the study can be found here:

Fantastic last seminar before his well deserved retirement by Philippe Reymond @unil.bsky.social on the signaling immune responses following insect cell deposition on plant leaves. A technical tour de force & exciting findings.
Congrats to my former PhD student, @louisefougere.bsky.social, for getting the @sbcf.bsky.social PhD price 2026. Presented at the SBCF general assembly today 😍
For liverwort mavens, I've needed to shift our Marchantia resources to a new website (I've reached retirement from academia in Cambridge) - and the plant synthetic biology stuff has moved to https://www.haseloff-lab.info
(Now have more time for DIY builds! Updates to come)
Congratulations @romanulm.bsky.social group for your latest publication in @plantphys.bsky.social: Conservation and divergence of #UVR8 photoreceptor-mediated UV-B signaling in #Marchantia polymorpha @sciencesunige.bsky.social www.unige.ch/medias/en/20...
