We are happy to welcome Sooyun Lee and Tilman Jacob to the Designer Glycans lab. Sooyun first joined us for an internship in February to evaluate fluorescent reporters in Pichia pastoris. She will now start her MSc research thesis on secreting proteins from yeast to modify extracellular glycans. Tilman is a first-year MSc student at… Continue reading Two new MSc students join the lab

This annual conference will be focused on Plant Cell Walls this year, and will be held as an online event for the first time. We have an exciting speaker line-up and there will be free registration for participants from around… Continue reading Register now for the Leibniz Symposium on Plant Cell Walls
February publication update
We are happy to have contributed to a new publication that appeared in Science Advances on the February 10. This study unveils how jasmonate signaling is initiated in the korrigan1 (kor1) cellulose-deficient mutant, and multiple ways in which it can be complemented. The work was lead by Stefan Mielke in Debora Gasperini\’s research group at IPB… Continue reading February publication update
Our first preprint: the importance of seed mucilage polymers
The first preprint of the Designer Glycans lab has been posted on bioRxiv, an open access repository for biological sciences
Review of orthogonal hosts to study cell wall synthesis
We published a review article in Plants (https://doi.org/10.3390/plants8110516), part of a special issue on \”Plant Cell Wall Biology\”. In close collaboration with multiple colleagues from Düsseldorf, we assessed the suitability of more than ten orthogonal hosts for synthetic biology and to study plant cell wall biosynthesis. In particular, we focused on the key advantages and… Continue reading Review of orthogonal hosts to study cell wall synthesis
