We are excited to announce that @berasymbionts's group is fully operational at TSL, with their beetles now happy in the insectary!

Aileen's research program focuses on the molecular dialogue between fungi, insects and plants 🍄‍🟫🪲🌱

@talbotlabTSL and I reviewed what we know about our favourite cereal killer and compared it to human-infecting relatives. Check it out! 👇https://t.co/LwtGiAVP4s

@camilla_moli @talbotlabTSL Congrats!!

[Ye Jin (Jennie) Ahn @yejinjennieahn]

A new preprint is OUT! 🚨

Thrilled to finally share our work on how decoy diversification underpins the regulation of an NLR-mediated autoimmunity.

Spotted in Nairobi: Paederus beetle! This tiny insect harbors symbiotic bacteria that produce pederin, a potent toxin used for defense. 🤩 #Symbiosis #beetles 🇰🇪

[Aileen Berasategui @berasymbionts]

Looking forward to welcoming @camilla_moli to the lab!! Here’s to the wonderful science ahead @TheSainsburyLab! 🍄🦠🔬🪲

[Camilla Molinari @camilla_moli]

After over 6 wonderful years with @talbotlabTSL , it’s time to head upstairs and join the @berasymbionts group for a fun new postdoc! 🪲 Huge thank you to Nick and everyone in the lab for all the support, this isn’t a goodbye, just a new TSL second-floor chapter 🥳

[Hassan Salem @HassanSalem]

Join @berasymbionts, @nobolly and us for a postdoc on the remarkable developmental biology of symbiosis!

Applications are due March 25th 🪲🦠

How specific are heritable symbioses?

And what can we learn from swapping obligate symbionts across host species?

We address this in our latest, led by @Ines_Pons5, and out today in @NatureComms!🪲🦠

[Aileen Berasategui @berasymbionts]

Can plant pathogens boost vector fitness?

Together with @HassanSalem, we review how phytopathogens can spread further by moonlighting as insect symbionts 🪲 More on this nifty lifestyle in @AnnualReviews!

I’m excited to receive this award! I believe that collaboration is essential for important discoveries, which makes this recognition even more meaningful to me. I’m especially grateful to my mentor @Gerta_Hoxhaj , who taught me the importance of this mindset☺️

[Hyeonmin Jeong @Hynmn_Jeong]

Many thanks for all the kind words I've received over the past few days! It wouldn't have been possible without my fantastic supervisory team, @Phil_Carella and @KamounLab. A massive thank you as well to @mjbanfield and @RensingStefan for the enjoyable discussion during viva!

[Hassan Salem @HassanSalem]

There are several opportunities to join the group, starting with a four-year postdoctoral position at JIC.

Applications are due on December 15th, for a start date in 2026 📣

We're delighted @HassanSalem is joining JIC!

@talbotlabTSL - "This strengthens our critical mass in plant–insect interactions by building on the work of @SaskiaHogenhout & our appointment of @berasymbionts, fostering new collaborations between TSL & JIC”

[Aileen Berasategui @berasymbionts]

Super excited to be joining @TheSainsburyLab and to begin this new chapter in Norwich!! And thrilled to be neighbours with the Mutualisms Research Group at
@HassanSalem and the wider community at @JohnInnesCentre. Can’t wait to get started! 😁

📣NEWS We are delighted to share that Dr Aileen Berasategui @berasymbionts will join us as a new group leader next year

“Aileen is an exceptionally talented scientist and brings new expertise to TSL in plant-insect-fungal interactions” says @talbotlabTSL

What if we could watch pathogenesis in real time? Our collab with @tapomoy89, jointly led by Syona @syonaphyceae and Sree @padmanabh97, shows how soil-like 3D regimes reshape our understanding of plant-fungal interactions!
