He introduced the fundamentals and recent developments in CRISPR, sparking curiosity (and questions!) from groups not directly involve with this line of research.
Thanks to everyone who joined, we’ll now take a summer break during August, and return in September.
#PostDoc #Hydrosensing
Not only small model plants! 🌱
#Hydrosensing team at Tel Aviv (Shani Lab) is carrying out large-scale CRISPR libraries in crops.
Congratulations to Prof. @eilonshani.bsky.social Eilon Shani, #Hydrosensing PI, on being elected to EMBO 2025! 🎉
This honor recognizes his outstanding contributions to plant molecular genetics and scientific excellence @embo.org

Recently, our early-career researchers agreed on the value of organizing regular sessions for PhDs and PostDocs to explore key research topics in greater depth.
These sessions offer a space to understand the methods & techniques used across the 4 #Hydrosensing teams.

New #Hydrosensing paper out!
Genetic variation drives crop breeding, but traditional mutagenesis is limited by gene redundancy and low precision. CRISPR-Cas9 offers targeted editing, yet scaling it in plants has been a challenge.

Just wanted to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who joined our #HydroSensing meeting!
Great energy & insights. Let's keep the collaboration flowing!
A special shout-out to our guest speakers who sparkedfascinating dialogues. Your contributions were invaluable!

#HydroSensing Synergy Group - your fascinating talks last week completely watered the seeds of curiosity in my brain 😉. Prepare to see the photographic evidence of my descent into macroscale hydrosensing madness! I'm pretty sure my leafy friends 🌱 are judging my overly enthusiastic note-taking.
We are fascinated by how our leafy friends 🌱 feel the subtle shifts in soil moisture 💦 Last week we hydrated your minds and cultivated connections at our #erc meeting focusing on the captivating world of #Plant #HydroSensing 🧩@hydrosensing.bsky.social @hydrophotonics.bsky.social
After our annual #HydroSensing meeting in Regensburg, we went for a hike.. of course with a subsequent data collection and data processing demonstration 😁 #Plant #cryoEM
Dr. Gregor Madej, PhD student Johannes Schuster, and Dr. Veronika Heinz during centrifuge duty.
PhD student Georg Horn revels in victory as he finally wrangles his cells into the new RUN CO₂ incubator.
When Dr. Natalyia Archipova is purifying light-sensitive photoreceptors, NO ONE enters! She ensures absolute darkness for the best results. Trust us, you don’t want to test her strict side!
PhD student Georg Horn inaugurates our brand-new Äkta in its first-ever cold room mission. He’s loading samples like a pro!
Meet the #HydroSensing team from Regensburg!
From braving the cold room to battling centrifuges, the team tackles science with passion, precision, and just a little bit of chaos. Follow along as we take you behind the scenes!
