Life in the lab

We are a multidisciplinary lab and apply molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics to advance both fundamental and applied plant science. We don’t expect everyone to have all of these skills; if you are interested in our research but don’t have the technical skills, we will train you. You can learn more about our lab culture and how we aim to train and support lab members in our lab charter.

In February 2024, our lab began the process of relocating to the University of Cambridge. All new lab members will join at this location but part of the group remain in Norwich. In Cambridge, we are located in the Department of Plant Sciences.  In Norwich, we are located in The Earlham Institute on the Norwich Research Park (NRP). In both locations, our lab is well-equipped for plant molecular and synthetic biology, and we have access to numerous platform facilities to help our work.
