Excited to see our new preprint on bioRxiv! 🌱🤖 We used AI protein design (RFdiffusion + ProteinMPNN) to build brand-new sensor domains from scratch and installed them in a rice NLR immune receptor engineering recognition of a Fusarium effector FoSSP17

Science in our soil could help shape the future of farming. 🌱 Great to meet Professor Myriam Charpentier and Eloise Maher from the @johninnescentre.bsky.social in Westminster Hall to hear how research into plant microbes could reduce fertiliser use while protecting food security.
