#MeetTheLab
@msabrysarhan.bsky.social works on his postdoc (joint w/ #EURAC) on ancient diet & microbiomes.
How to overcome failure in science?
I like a lot what Robert Frost said: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

The geislerLab in the botanical garden of the University of Fribourg (2024)
Mutations in Arabidopsis, maize or sorghum ABCBs lead to dwarfism
Plant ABCB transporters reveal a high degree of substrate specificity in comparison to their mammalian orthologs
ABCBs (represented by the worker on the left) are ancient auxin transporters, while PIN proteins (represented by the dancer on the right) came much later in evolution
In the Geislerlab, we explore how plants move auxin, a signal that guides their growth and movements. This process is provided by specific transport proteins. By studying them, we not only learn how plants grow but might also gain insights that could help improve cancer treatments.
