Group Leader at The Sainsbury Laboratory, studying plant-microbe interactions.
A little behind the scenes. Thanks @stephbornemann.bsky.social for the great setup and editing!
We are excited to welcome Ketil Krabbe as a new pre-doc in our group at @thesainsburylab.bsky.social. Ketil completed his master’s with Sarah O’Connor at MPI Jena (single-cell metabolomics) and a science policy internship at OPCW before joining us. Welcome, Ketil!
Plant immunity research at the speed of pathogen evolution! @kamounlab.bsky.social
Thanks, Nef! It was an honour to visit the University of Zurich as a postdoc-invited speaker. Great to catch up with so many people. The Botanical Garden was amazing!
Heading back to Norwich after a three-week stay in Japan. We had a wonderful time. Fully recharged, and my inbox is somehow clean (how did I manage that?!).
TSL Summer Conference getting a shoutout during Ren Ujimatsu’s @rujimatsu.bsky.social presentation at the JSPP Annual Meeting (Ren was a 2024 participant). @thesainsburylab.bsky.social
Today’s @thesainsburylab.bsky.social MSc lecture focused on epigenetics (broadly defined), delivered by our chromatin aficionado, @vgeshkovski.bsky.social
Siyu @siyusong.bsky.social introduced the concept of PCoA. She created this PCoA plot based on our lab members’ research interests. Quiz: Is Tatsuya, sitting in the middle, interested in everything or nothing? 🤔
Today’s @thesainsburylab.bsky.social MSc lecture focused on symbiosis and the microbiome, delivered by Karen and Siyu from our lab. Great to see so many thoughtful questions from the students 😄
This week, MSc students at @thesainsburylab.bsky.social are learning confocal microscopy to visualise plant-microbe interactions, with hands-on guidance from our lab members Tokuji & Ru.
Nobori lab 2026 (Feb): 🇯🇵🇬🇧🇹🇭🇨🇳🇹🇼🇨🇦🇳🇱🇲🇰🇹🇿🇨🇱 Thank you all for the inspiration, curiosity, and energy you bring every day!
Amazing findings in geometry-based immune activation! Two bacterial defence systems detect phage-encoded ring oligomers, assemble high-order molecular complexes, and trigger abortive infection. www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Delighted to welcome Nanne Taks (@nwtaks.bsky.social) as a new postdoc in our lab! Nanne completed his PhD in Amsterdam with @havandenburg.bsky.social and @pfeilmeier.bsky.social, working on plant-pathogen interactions at hydathode water pores. Welcome!
We are excited to welcome Akari Maeda as a new postdoc in our lab 🎉 Akari is supported by a JSPS fellowship associated with the JSPS Ikushi Prize, one of Japan’s most prestigious honours for outstanding doctoral researchers, awarded for her work on the circadian clock. Welcome!

It was a wonderful meeting - one of my highlights of 2025. Thank you to the organizers: @sattelylab.bsky.social, @beckybart.bsky.social, and Cyril Zipfel
🚨We’re hiring! Please help spread the word! Our lab at @TheSainsburyLab is recruiting a pre-doctoral intern to work on plant immunity research. Ideal for those who are planning to pursue a PhD and seeking research experience. tatsuyanobori.com
Had a great visit to @cropscicentre.bsky.social and @camplantsci.bsky.social, and a very nice stay at St John’s college. Thanks to @paszkowskilab.bsky.social for hosting me!
Congrats to all the @thesainsburylab.bsky.social prize winners this year! A special shoutout to our own Phon Green for her incredible research support, especially managing a HUGE number of plants, from Arabidopsis to crops 🤯
Our new lab logo (created by the amazing @hsuanpai.bsky.social)! tatsuyanobori.com
Looking forward to joining this CSHL meeting next month and catching up with so many plant scientists I admire! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.asp...
Excited to welcome Bob to Norwich! @johninnescentre.bsky.social @thesainsburylab.bsky.social
@delaconcepcionjc.bsky.social from @gmivienna.bsky.social (a @johninnescentre.bsky.social alumnus) delivered his 2026 Early Career Research Award Lecture on NLR engineering and his ongoing cryo-ET work! #BiochemEvent
