Marc received a DFG-funded 3-year postdoc fellowship! Congrats!!
The Thomson Reuters IP and Science highly cited researcher 2016 has now been announced and the Persson lab was indicated as one of the top cited labs in the world.
Jacqueline Nowak, a new PhD student shared with Zoran Nikoloski at MPI-MP, and Ghazanfar Khan, a new Postdoc, joined the lab in Sep and Nov, respectively. Khan did his PhD in the lab of Yves Poirier at the University of Lausanne and is on a Swiss National fellowship, and Jacqueline did her master at University of Potsdam. Welcome!
Our image of a xylem vessel secondary wall segment in an Arabidopsis seedling was selected as the front cover in Plant Physiology for the 2016 Nov issue (http://www.plantphysiol.org/content/current). Rene Schneider took the image.
ARC announced several major grant outcomes today and the Persson lab was awarded funding in both the DECRA and FT schemes; Heather was successful in getting a prestigious DECRA grant and Staffan was awarded a Future Fellowship. Yay!
Our recent paper in Developmental Cell was evaluated in F1000 as “very good”. Link to the evaluation: http://f1000.com/prime/726596212
Congratulations to Rene Schneider who received an Early Career Research (ECR) grant from University of Melbourne of $40,000. These funds will be supporting his research during 2017.
We received funds for a new confocal microscope via the internal RIF Collaborative Equipment Grant Scheme together with Prof David Gardner and others at the School of BioSciences/FVAS.
Our paper on the STELLO proteins was recommended by the Faculty of 1000 as “very good” http://f1000.com/prime/726410729?ref=ypp
