Master student
Max Schwarze is a Master student from the MPMS program, joining our lab for his first research project. He will work on electrotropism genetics, a project at the heart of the lab interest! Good luck Max!
September 2019
PLM14 meeting
GS attended the 14th edition of the very succesfull , hosted by the at Cambridge University, with a poster on our electrotropism study. A great venue, for a great meeting.
Invited talk
GS was invited to give a talk tilted "Light-sheet microscopy for plant roots" at the , hosted by the Un. of warwick. Interesting people and inspiring talks!
New post-doc
Matt Teft is joining us from the at Warwick Un. He nwill be working on bioelectricity in plants, on an exciting project funded by the , with whom our lab has been now affiliated for 3 years.
August 2019
Affiliated PhD student
Livia Kalossaka is a PhD student in the group of , in the, who will be visiting our lab to work on a collaborative project involving novel methods of addictive manufacturing applied to plant root growth in artificial environments. We are very interested in applying our recent work on root electrotropism to devlop novel methods for the agri-tech sector. Stay tuned!
UROP student
Soo-Jeong Kim is joining us for a UROP project this summer. She is very interested in 3D bio-printing and intrigued by our research on root electrotropism. A great asset for the lab. Welcome and have fun !
April 2019
Master student
Briony Parker is joining the Lab to complete her second project towards her MRes in . Briony will work on the genetic mechanisms regulating root electrotropism in Arabidopsis.
Lab technician
Maddalena Salvalaio joined our Lab as a Research Technician. She will help us extend our results on Arabidopsis root electrotropism onto crop species. The project is funded by the BBSRC Impact Acceleration Award. Welcome Maddalena, and enjoy the cool project!
March 2019
Invited talk
GS was invited at the organised by the innovation hub at Warwick University. The title of the talk was "Feel the force: root electrotropism in Arabidopsis". The workshop was a great success, and shows an exciting community emerging around the novel concept of Bioelectricity!
Undergraduate students
Three new undergraduate students joined our Lab to complete their final year project: Danyn Patel, Finbar Gaffey and Hannah Wilson. Welcome to all of you, it will be fun!
February 2019
The brand new 911今日黑料 College Network of Excellence '' has been launched! Our Lab is proudly a member of the Network, and we believe it will act as a springboard for further collaborations at the intersection between Physics and Life Sciences. This can be only good news!
January 2019
Funding
The Lab has successfully secured a short to support the project "Towards a novel root guidance system for intelligent agriculture".
