Our second keynote speaker is Alain Tissier @atissier.bsky.social @ipbhalle.bsky.social on enhancing HDR and its use in engineering cis-genic disease resistance and other traits

I'm excited to share that my newly funded #ERCStG FRONTERA is recruiting two postdoctoral researchers at @ipbhalle.bsky.social 🌱🔬 If you are passionate about plant immunity, proteolysis, membrane proteins, or proteomics, I'd love to hear from you. 🧵 Please RT/share!

Please submit comments to the EU Commission’s Call for Evidence on how to implement the new rules for "Plants obtained by new genomic techniques (#NGT)". Submission deadline 28 Sept. Below what I submitted. #plantscience ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

Now we have @cnaumann123.bsky.social talking in the #proteostasis session about Pi-dependent ER stress adaptation that is mediated by #autophagy #BT2026

Fantastic news! 🎉 Huge congratulations to @marischuster.bsky.social, one of the PIs in #SNP2Prot, on receiving an ERC Starting Grant. This outstanding achievement recognizes pioneering research and opens exciting opportunities for future discoveries. @erc.europa.eu #ERCStG

🚨 Job alert! Project D02 of the DFG-funded CRC #SNP2Prot is hiring a Research Associate (m/f/d) in Plant Bioinformatics at @unihalle.bsky.social. Work on pangenomes, ML, and proteoform prediction. Apply by 6 Sept 2026. 🌱🧬 www.verwaltung.uni-halle.de/DEZERN3/AUSS... #Bioinformatics #PlantScience

Celebrating the completion of our DAAD RISE internship! @aciattoni.bsky.social conceived, funded and managed the project while providing excellent mentorship. Nilay brought curiosity, dedication and great work to the lab. Congratulations to both, and best wishes to Nilay! 🌿🔬 #DAADRISE #SNP2Prot

Excited to share the SNPstar! preprint! 🌿 SNPstar helps researchers explore how natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana affects protein structure and function by integrating SNP data, AlphaFold3 models, stability predictions, population context, and more. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2026: Building proteins and bonds! The SNP2PROT crew did a great job opening up protein designing to the visitors ( the tiny ones being the best protein designers!😉) #SNP2Prot#ldnw Thank you for the pictures! @juliagrimmer.bsky.social

🦉🔬Die Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften in Halle findet heute Abend statt und Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler von iDiv sind mit spannenden Mitmachprogrammen dabei! Kommt vorbei ab 17 Uhr im Institut der Geobotanik! @unihalle.bsky.social lndwhalle.de/programm?org...

Lila Tomaten 🍅 & mehr Zur Langen Nacht d Wissenschaft lädt @ipbhalle.bsky.social am Fr., 3. Juli in #Halle, Weinberg 3 Es bietet ein Mitmachprogramm für alle Sinne + diskutiert u.a. wie mit der Genschere CRISPR/Cas (#NGT) neue Pflanzensorten 🌱entstehen www.ipb-halle.de/oeffentlichk...

Last week at #Dinner4Democracy, #SNP2Prot speaker Marcel Quint sparked engaging conversations about the future of agriculture, biotechnology, and protein design. Thanks to all participants!🌱💬 makesciencehalle.science2public.com/aktuelles/ve... Picture credit: © Paul Hoffmann, science2public e.V.

🚀 Turbo für die Forschung: Die Uni Halle hat ein neues hochauflösendes Kryo-Elektronenmikroskop in Betrieb genommen. Mit dem Gerät kann das Team um Prof. Dr. Panagiotis Kastritis noch schnellere und bessere Aufnahmen von Proteinen, Polymermaterialien oder ganzen Zellen anfertigen. mlu.de/7pgrt

Big news for #SNP2Prot! 🎉 The new Krios 5 cryo-EM at @unihalle.bsky.social is online. Led by SNP2Prot PI Panagiotis Kastritis, it will boost protein structure research and open new avenues for studying plant proteoform diversity. 🌱🔬🚀 pressemitteilungen.pr.uni-halle.de/index.php?mo...

‼️Job alert📢🚨 We are recruiting a Junior Group Leader (f) in Protein Science at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, jointly hosted by the Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology and our Collaborative Research Centre CRC 1664 "Plant Proteoform Diversity – SNP2Prot."

We are recruiting a Junior PI to join CRC 1664 @snp2prot.bsky.social, funded through the FEM POWER programme supporting women in STEM. own budget, a funded PhD position, outstanding infrastructure + supportive colleagues. More information: snp2prot.uni-halle.de/2026/06/05/j...

Congratulations @aciattoni.bsky.social ! #SNP2Prot #C05

Our own @aciattoni.bsky.social takes the floor and shows our progress on understanding the biochemistry of SAP1-MucD interaction. #ICPP2026 #SNP2Prot @ipbhalle.bsky.social #ProudSupervisor

Now on: our own Christian Wall presenting the nepenthesin work (published) he made with @sinzandrea.bsky.social prior joining #SNP2Prot @unihalle.bsky.social #IPP2026

Johannes Debler from CCDM Perth delivered today a captivating talk on novel and mysterious nucleic acid elements identified in fungal plant pathogens. Cheers to one more "not-yet-known" 🧬🧬 @jwdebler.bsky.social @theccdm.bsky.social @curtinuniversity.bsky.social #GRDC #Transposon #Ascochyta

Oxygen deprivation due to flooding brings many changes in plant physiology. SNP2Prot hosted Dr Romy Schmidt-Schippers from Uni Bielefeld today. Her work demonstrated key proteins and cellular pathways that adapt upon flood induced hypoxia. #Hypoxia #RCD1 #Arabidopsis #O2 #OxygenSensing #Evolution

Devising outdoor evolution experiments with multicellular eukaryotes is always a challenge. Check out the Science article below where SNP2Prot captains M. Quint and C. Delker took part! Congrats to authors across the globe👏 doi.org/10.1126/scie... #Evolution #Arabidopsis @carolindelker.bsky.social

Latest publication from SNP2Prot colleagues C. Wall and A. Sinz reveals that the Nepenthesin protease, isolated from 𝘕𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴 sp., carries superior proteolytic activity towards IDPs. Kudos to the team 🎉 doi.org/10.1002/cbic... #MassSpec #Protease #IDPs #Proteomics @sinzandrea.bsky.social

Many congrats to SNP2Prot colleagues C. Tüting, G. Künze & P. Kastritis on their latest publication! Read on to find the authors providing resolution to a 50y-old hypothesis, by demonstrating acid-driven protein desolvation. doi.org/10.1073/pnas... #CryoEM #MDsimulation #PNAS #ProteinScience

After two inspiring days with @crc1644.bsky.social, it’s clear how complementary our initiatives are. Exited for future collaborations! @dfg.de

The final day of our joint retreat with @crc1644.bsky.social starts with a talk by our invited speaker @alexanderforderer.bsky.social

What a treat to get a master class on XL-MS from the one and only @sinzandrea.bsky.social #SNP2Prot

Kick-off of our joint retreat of CRC1644 & @snp2prot.bsky.social We are excited and look forward to two inspiring days!
