The John Innes Centre was built on philanthropy
London property developer and philanthropist John Innes left a gift in his will that enabled the John Innes Centre to be established in 1910, the first research centre for the study of plant genetics in Britain.
More than 115 years later, we host more than 600 scientists from over 45 countries. From soil to crop genetics, our researchers are changing the way we understand nature and are using that knowledge to devise the next generation of science-led solutions for sustainable food production. Now you can be part of our story too. Help us to fully realise our Healthy Plants, Healthy People, Healthy Planet (HP3) vision; a once-in-a-generation opportunity, which will benefit all future generations.
