Biography

Eirini’s interest in biology led her from the island of Kos, Greece to the UK. She obtained a BSc Honours in Biotechnology with Work Placement (MSci) form the University of Glasgow in 2004. Eirini was introduced to the world of photoreceptor research during her Work Placement at Stanford University (Winslow Briggs lab, Carnegie Inst. of Washington) and subsequently completed her PhD in 2008 at the University of Glasgow (Gareth Jenkins lab) investigating the function and localisation of the first genetically encoded UV-B receptor, UVR8. After her PhD., she briefly worked on phototropin research and was involved in developing the plant blue-light sensory LOV domain into a fluorescent marker at the lab of John Christie (University of Glasgow). In 2009, Eirini was awarded a Human Frontiers Science Program postdoctoral fellowship to join the Chory lab at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies (La Jolla, California), where she studied the function of a novel signalling component integrating light, hormone and clock networks to promote plant growth. In 2013, Eirini returned to Scotland as a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Fellow to start her research group at the University of Glasgow. She received tenure in 2016 and promotion to Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in 2019 followed by a year of maternity leave.

With over 23 years of research experience in plant photobiology, specialising in how plants perceive and integrate UV‑B, blue, red/far‑red light and photoperiodic signals to regulate growth and environmental adaptation, the Kaiserli lab focuses on understanding how environmental stimuli induce changes in nuclear architecture, chromatin organisation and gene expression to regulate plant growth and resilience.

A more recent focus of the Kaiserli lab is the molecular crosstalk between light signaling and thermotolerance, focusing on how plants integrate environmental cues to fine-tune stress responses. The lab is interested in elucidating the molecular function, composition and physiological significance of the environmentally-controlled nuclear condensates in plants using a multi-disciplinary approach. 

The Kaiserli lab has been fortunate to host and train very talented and enthusiastic early career researchers from diverse backgrounds that have contributed to the cultural and scientific diversity of the Plant Science Group, School of Molecular Biosciences and the University of Glasgow. The Kaiserli lab collaborates with labs at the University of Glasgow, within the UK and across the globe including Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and North America and aims to promote collegiality, knowledge exchange, research integrity and scientific excellence.

In addition to directing a research group, Eirini delivers lectures, tutorials, lab classes, supervises and mentors undergraduate and postgraduate students on subjects related to Molecular, Cellular and Plant Biology. Eirini is a Gatsby Plant Science Advisor and Mentor, a member of internal and external professional committees, editorial boards and mentoring schemes and promotes knowledge exchange by participating and organising international conferences and science communication events.

Plants exhibit enormous plasticity, therefore they provide a great model for studying how cells and organisms respond and adapt to the constantly changing environment. Light is an environmental stimulus essential not only for energy production, but also for triggering a plethora of developmental and photoprotective responses. The majority of light signalling components are constitutively localised or translocated into the nucleus and form subnuclear structures, also referred to as nuclear foci, photobodies or speckles to regulate gene expression, protein modification and DNA repair. Studies in animal systems indicate a direct correlation between the disruption of nuclear microdomains and the onset of heritable diseases, ageing and cancer. New findings in this area could have major applications in healthcare, agricultural sustainability and basic biosciences.

The focus of our research is to understand how environmental stimuli influence the organization of the plant nucleus, and how this translates into changes in cell and plant architecture and development. In particular, we are interested in elucidating the functional significance and regulation of nuclear bodies in response to light and temperature. Identification and characterisation of novel components that bridge light signalling to protein stability, transcriptional regulation or DNA damage repair will provide better understanding of the role of photobody formation in plant growth, development and photoprotection and thermoresilience.

In order to monitor the dynamic nature, the speed of formation, the identity and the composition of these structures within the nucleus, my lab is employing a multidisciplinary approach using genomics, proteomics and cell biology.
