Thomas Irving
I'm a post-doc in the Cereal Symbiosis group, and will be working on identifying the endogenous ligand of D14L; taking positive hits from a chemical genomics screen and working with the Sainsbury Labs to design a FRET based biosensor to screen these, then confirming candidates with ITC and in planta.
This is my second post-doc in a career focused on the molecular genetics of plant root symbioses; having done my PhD at York with Michael Schultze and a post-doc at Madison, WI with Jean-Michel Ane.
