Happy to share that we secured our first #NWO grant nwo.nl/en/news/56-grants-for…
Excited that our project has been awarded an #ERC #PoC Grant! This will help us translate discoveries from fundamental research into practical tools with real-world impact. Thanks to everyone who has contributed along the way, and to the support from @ERC_Research @UniLeiden
The first round of the 2026 ERC Proof of Concept Grant results is out! 🎉
182 researchers receive a total of €27.3 million to explore the commercial and societal potential of their ERC-funded findings.

After 3 years, now we launched a new version of our lab website (still under construction):
thedinglab.com/
Can you please help us by commenting below on what we can further improve for our website so we can pass them on to our designer?
Thanks in advance!
Excited to host our next @PlantStressBiol special seminar & @LeidenBiology Spotlight speaker @GeminiTeamLab @zmbp @uni_tue
Our #phd candidate @HimanshuChhill3 just gave his very first engaging #flashtalk about one of his projects on #plant #innate #immunity at the annual science symposium @LeidenBiology @UniLeiden #scicomm – at Leyden, The Netherlands
Congrats to all flashtalk speakers! Well done! All early career students #phds #postdocs @LeidenBiology

Today we have @PlantTeaching Mary to tell us why we publish in science and how we survive from peer review as an invited speaker @PlantStressBiol seminar series @LeidenBiology @EPSGradSchool
A nice team effort at the #internship market @LeidenBiology if you’re students @UniLeiden and interested in plant-microbe interactions, molecular #genetics and #biotechnology, please check opportunities thedinglab.com for #bachelor or #master student internships – at The Netherlands
I just published 'Cultivating success: mastering the art of plant care in plant biology research' about why it is important to take good care of your plants and how we can achieve it thedinglab.com/post/cultivat…
