The ‘GENius of November 2018’ is Dr Sadiye Hayta

Left with a mound of rotting tomatoes, there was only one option left...

Welcome to the Genes in the Environment Institute Strategic Programme (GEN ISP) blog, which will introduce you to the many GENiuses in our programme.

We were delighted to receive an award this month for our work on the Technicians Commitment. We asked Dr Clare Stevenson, what happened?

Plants may appear peaceful, but beneath their calm exterior, they’re locked in continuous and ever-changing chemical warfare.

Dr Chris Morgan is a Postdoctoral Scientist working in Kirsten Bomblies' lab in the Cell and Developmental Biology Department. We chatted to him about his life and work.

October 2018 saw the 3rd Norwich Science Festival and once again The John Innes Centre, and our colleagues on the Norwich Research Park attended in large numbers.

I joined the John Innes institute (as it was then) in 1987. It was much smaller than it is now; Colney Lane really was a lane, there was no hospital and buses only got as far as UEA.

At the John Innes Centre, we currently have four Lab Managers, responsible for the major buildings which house laboratories on-site.
