Welcome Tiziano!
A warm Lancaster welcome to Tiziano who is here for a collaborative visit as part of his PhD work at ITQB-NOVA in Lisbon. As part of his PhD within ITQBs Plant sciences unit, he’s here for some exciting experiments in rice.
New publication: congratulations Connor on your first paper!
Massive well done to PhD student Connor Nehls-Ramos who has recently had his first publication appear in the Journal of Experimental Botany. As part of Connors work on the regulation of Rubisco by CA1P and the phosphatase CA1Pase he investigated just how much we know (and don’t know!) about how different groups of plants utilise CA1P as a night time […]
New & updated website live!
Our newly revamped website is now live! Thanks to the efforts of Rachel and contributions of many in the team, you can now find more about us, and links to other information more easily. We’ll keep updating with news, photos, and available positions when they occur!
Updates coming to our website, stay tuned
Thanks for stopping by! We are currently reorganising our website to update it with new team members, and a new look, for a refresh in the coming weeks. To learn about us you can check out newly updated Lancaster Environment Centre discipline group pages, including the Plant Biology website HERE. If you are here looking for recently advertised PhD […]
Welcome Maria!
A big Lancaster welcome to Maria who starts her PhD today! She’ll be working on CA1P with Doug as part of the NorthWestBio DLA programme. Her project is also in collaboration with proteomics and metabolomics colleagues at Queens University Belfast (Ciaren Graham, Bobby Graham, Nick Birse). Great to have Maria joining the team.
Farewell Supreeta!
Many thanks to Supreeta who finished her postdoc with us on the PhotoBoost project last week. Supreeta has great strong contributions to the modelling aspects of the project, and has been a great Lancaster Photosynthesis team member. She’ll still be in Lancaster, having taken up a post with the Journal of Experimental Botany across campus.
Farewell Ana!
Today we say ciao to Ana Lobo as she heads to an exciting new chapter of her career. After a successful postdoc here with Elizabete as part of Photoboost, Ana will now take up a permanent position at Aarhus University in Denmark to start her own group! We’re very thankful to have had Ana in the team and her many […]
Welcome Felix to Lancaster!
A warm welcome to Felix who has just joined Doug’s groups for a BBSRC project engineering Rubisco. Felix joins having recently finished his PhD in Aberystwyth.
New postdoc position available with Doug
[Edit/update 16th May] This has closed and we will be in contact with candidates. Recruiting has just opened for a Plant Molecular Physiologist postdoc position with Doug to work on Rubisco engineering, biochemistry, and impacts on photosynthesis. This is part of a BBSRC funded project looking at novel approaches to improving Rubisco activity, in collaboration with Prof. Martin Cann at […]
Welcome Louis!
Welcome to Louis Monnier who joins Elizabete’s lab on a 6 month research visit from France. He’s working on wheat and his visit will involve studying the epigenetic effects of nitrogen supplementation on genes related to Rubisco synthesis.
