Mackinder lab at Plastid Preview 2022

At the end of summer we made our way to the beautiful city of Norwich to listen about all things plastid. We spent two fascinating day exploring chloroplast biology and meeting other researchers in the field.

Three of us gave talks: Christine explained the intricacies of calcium signalling in CCM regulation in Chlamydomonas, James presented his work on pyrenoid linker proteins in the core Chlorophytes and Mihris took us on a journey to the field of algal genetic engineering for biofuel production.

We also brought beautiful posters with us which Justin, Caroline, Matt and Sabina presented during the poster session.

We are really looking forward to see everyone again at Plastid Preview 2023 in Oxford!
