Research interests; plant associated yeasts, fungal genomics, plant immunity. You'll also find me hiking, rock climbing, fly fishing.

Today we gather to honor the memory of Professor Jaakko Kangasjärvi. An inspiring leader, mentor, and driving force in our Center of Excellence in Tree Biology. His visionary work shaped our research and our community. We carry his legacy forward, with gratitude and admiration.

@yeastgenomix Love it. I have to give that a 10. That's one of the more severe cases I've seen.

My niece has Rett syndrome and we have hoped for a real treatment if not a cure in her lifetime. You can just imagine the excitement that comes with this announcement.

This is exciting to see. One of the first projects I worked on as an undergrad involved Z-DNA.

So happy about our @pnas
paper on release of ER-tethered ANAC013 through rhomboid protease RBL2 under hypoxia🌊🙂🥳! It is one of the earliest acting transcription factors involved in mitochondrial retrograde signalling.

I was excited to read the paper by Yan Qiu-Tan and colleagues showing that multiple cyclic nucleotide gated channels (GNGCs) combine to act as ABA-activated Ca2+ channels essential for ABA regulated changes in stomatal aperture. https://t.co/PCWjoep6oh
