Tatsuya Nobori is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Joe Ecker at the Salk Institute in San Diego, California. He completed his Ph.D. in 2019 in the group of Kenichi Tsuda at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, where he established methods to analyze bacterial transcriptomes and proteomes in planta. His studies revealed how plants influence the responses of pathogens and microbiota. Tatsuya’s current research goal is to understand plant-microbe interactions at the single-cell resolution by incorporating and developing new sequencing and imaging technologies. In the summer of 2024, he is set to establish a new lab at The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL) in Norwich, UK.
