Welcome to the 37th edition of Advances. After a short publication hiatus we are back, with a magazine full of ground-breaking discoveries

A Defra-funded project led by the John Innes Centre and partners can revive the spirit of agricultural discovery for the age of climate change

A round-up of our recent research featured in scientific journals

Our researchers are supporting the development of new legume crops for the UK

The John Innes Centre (JIC) and The Sainsbury Laboratory’s (TSL) ambitious vision, Healthy Plants, Healthy People, Healthy Planet (HP3) aims to deliver solutions to global challenges and secure a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future, through the power of plant and microbial science

Over the next five years, the Next Generation Infrastructure (NGI) programme aims to establish a world-leading hub for UK plant and microbial research, transforming the capabilities of the John Innes Centre and The Sainsbury Laboratory, at the heart of the Norwich Research Park

The role of circadian rhythms in humans and animals has long been studied, but new discoveries are shining a light on the vital role of daily and seasonal biological cycles in plants and microbes

The greatest breakthroughs in science often emerge from connections forged across boundaries. This is just a small number of the global scientific collaborations and projects fostered by our researchers to tackle humanity’s challenges

With staff and students from more than 36 countries, we are proud to be an inclusive institute. We asked colleagues what they love about Norwich and working at the John Innes Centre

Many of our scientists have been recognised with prestigious accolades, in recognition of their outstanding achievements within the international research community, as well as for their impact on plants, people and the planet

After working and studying at the John Innes Centre from 2014-2022, James now works at GetGenome – a charity he co-founded that delivers equitable access to genomics technology, training, and education
