Adeline Harant

Adeline Harant is a Senior Research Assistant at The Sainsbury Laboratory, University of East Anglia. Her research focuses on plant-microbe interactions, immune receptor engineering, and fungal pathogen genomics, with a particular emphasis on agricultural disease resistance mechanisms.

• Current affiliation: The Sainsbury Laboratory, University of East Anglia
• Research areas: Plant Biology, Genetics, Bioengineering, Microbiology

Harant's work explores plant immune receptor dynamics and fungal pathogen evolution, combining molecular biology with bioengineering approaches to enhance crop disease resistance. Her research on NLR receptors and horizontal gene transfer in plant pathogens has been widely cited and shared across scientific networks.

Recent publications highlight trends in:

• Designing plant immune receptors (NLRs) with improved pathogen detection
• Understanding genomic evolution in clonal fungal pathogens
• Developing nanobody-based strategies for disease resistance
• Mapping plant-pathogen coevolution through genetic analysis
