Work in my lab focuses on nano-scale channels interconnecting plant cells, and the transport of viruses through them. We make extensive use of live cell and super-resolution imaging (confocal, 3D-SIM) including development of new reporter systems for RNA tracking. Increasingly, we also use microscopy-based biophysical approaches to characterise proteins of interest.<\/p>\n<p>Research areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plant viruses<\/li>\n<li>Plasmodesmata<\/li>\n<li>RNA imaging<\/li>\n<li>Cell biology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/risweb.st-andrews.ac.uk\/portal\/en\/persons\/jens-tilsner(d3334877-8b2f-43f7-9062-4aae1c629de8).html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jens Tilsner research grooup<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a PhD at the University of G\u00f6ttingen, Germany, and postdocs in Dundee and Edinburgh, I moved to St Andrews in 2012, where I was promoted to lecturer in 2015.
