Daniela Strenkert

I will be joining the Plant Research Lab at Michigan state (PRL-MSU) as Assistant Professor this summer! I am truly humbled to join a community of students, staff and faculty this brilliant and kind. My thanks goes out to all my students and colleagues that made this possible.

Now published @NatureCellBio! Kinase KEY1 controls pyrenoid condensate size throughout the cell cycle by disrupting phase separation interactions nature.com/articles/s4155…

Introducing Chromnitron, a multimodal transformer that learns and predicts genome-wide binding landscape for hundreds of DNA-binding proteins across cell types. We envision it as a platform for accelerating genomics research and biological discovery!

We are looking for new colleagues in our department! Come and join our vibrant microbiology community! Please RT.

Now hiring! 📢 The Lowry lab at MSU is searching for a new postdoctoral scholar to study the evolution, genetics, and physiology of cold acclimation and freezing tolerance in switchgrass. #PlantSciJobs Learn more and apply by December 23: careers.msu.edu/jobs/research-…

NIH grant applicants: October and November grant application submission *deadlines* will be rescheduled (🤯). Specific dates TBD. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

Welcoming @AnneSteensma to @KAUST @KAUST_BESE for a 6-Month visiting student program. From @michiganstateu she will be working with Kaian on Cyanidioschizon merolae engineering.

Last but certainly not least, my personal collection of chromoproteins. Retransformed and ready for agar art, biotech education, and a source for subcloning into your own constructs. All proteins open source and vibrant. Great for STEM outreach! atinygreencell.com/products/rainb… 7/7

It was a lot of fun to have @DStrenkert from @MSUDOEPlantLab visit us and present her research on Ferredoxins last week 🥰 @carnegiescience

Thank you for such a wonderful day! I enjoyed discussing science with everyone a lot.

Procrastinators, your time to shine is now! The GMI group leader call officially closes tomorrow—still time to pretend this was the plan all along 😉 👉 bit.ly/gmi-groupleade… 👉 bit.ly/gmi-groupleade… Feel free to DM me with questions and spread the word!

More surprise in our little favorite algal model: Chlamydomonas 🧪🧬💚. Not bad for something with no bones and no brain 😉- Congratulations to all the authors - you rock! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congratulations to Christoph Benning, who was named Fellow by the American Society of Plant Biologists this year. blog.aspb.org/2025-aspb-awar…

Interested in photosynthetic organisms? Looking for a space to focus on research and kick-start your journey as a group leader? We’d love for you to join us. oeaw.ac.at/gmi/join-us/ju… 1/3

A post long due! BUT we have moved! Hej då @umeauniversity! Hello @IUBloomington! Thanks @UmeaPlantSci for the good times and the very nice research environment. The qH family has blossomed in Umeå and is looking forward to more blooming in Bloomington @IUBiology!🌱🌸😉

Excited to share our work on photoprotection in plants! We found that SOQ1 functions as a methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) in the thylakoid lumen! Congrats all authors 🥳 See the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please join @DrBTakahashi on Monday for a seminar series titled "the imperative for inclusive science communication " buff.ly/4ekE4tA

Very sad news for the cyanobacterial community. Our colleague Jeff Cameron passed away unexpectedly last week. He was a brilliant scientist and a very friendly person Please, consider donating to help his family in this hard moment gofundme.com/f/contribute-t…
