A slightly delayed welcome to 4 new Masters students starting across the group for this academic year. An extra busy time in the labs which is great to see. Matthew has joined Marj’s group working on C2 photosynthesis engineering alongside Tamara. Anna is working on CCM engineering with Doug and Álvaro. Nat is looking at […]
Big congrats to Ana, Joana, and Elizabete on today’s publication of a New Phytologist Tansley review on Rubisco regulation. You can also check out a news item about the topic here. Well done!
NWBio applications for 2024 entry are now closed. Exciting news as we have 3 new PhD project opportunities advertised via the North West Bio DTP program. There are projects with Elizabete, Marj, and Sam. These projects are intended to be Lancaster-based, but with strong links to partner institutions and the opportunity to spend at least some […]
Looking for an exciting PhD opportunity in photosynthesis? Just advertised in a project working with Marj on C2 photosynthesis and grasses. This is via the Envision Doctoral Training Programme led by Lancaster. Full details in including eligibility and how to apply can be found here: https://www.envision-dtp.org/2023/why-is-c2-photosynthesis-so-rare-in-grasses/ Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Marj ahead of […]
It’s a busy start to the academic year for the Lancs Photosynthesis and Lancs Plant Engineering teams, with 4 new PhD students starting this week! Connor starts with us looking at inhibition of Rubisco with Elizabete and Doug as part of the RIPE project. Julia is joining Doug’s group as part of the North West […]
Very exciting to have Carmen join the team this week as a Senior postdoc. She’ll be working with Elizabete on work related to improved photosynthesis in wheat. This is part of the BBSRC Institute Strategic Programme Delivering Sustainable Wheat, this project aims to decipher the mechanistic regulation of Rubisco synthesis and degradation and how this process […]
A big Lancaster and RIPE welcome to JA Siqueira who is the latest addition to the Lancs Photosynthesis and RIPE teams. This month JA started a postdoc with Elizabete and Doug working on Rubisco regulation, with a focus on cowpea and soybean within the RIPE project.
New paper out from Tamara and Marjorie in the Lundgren Lab, looking at the potential of GOLDEN2-LIKE transcription factors to aid in the engineering of improved crops. Now online at Plants People Planet. Well done Tamara and Marj!
There are currently 2 opportunities to the group of Sam Taylor for either a PhD or MRes project. The PhD project is a fully funded place looking at wheat crop canopies, photosynthesis, physiology, and modelling. Details, eligibility and application process are described here. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Sam about the project and their […]
We are super excited and very thankful to the Wolfson Foundation for the recently announced round of funding which includes new support for expanding our plant research facilities in the Lancaster Environment Centre. This will enable us to expand and improve our capabilities to investigate plant response to change spanning from the whole plant level […]
