Teenagers from across Norfolk have enjoyed an access-all-areas experience at the Norwich Bioscience Institutes this week, during our annual Year 10 Science Camp

Scientists have analysed the genomes of plants that grow in harsh, serpentine soils to find out how they survive in such conditions

The John Innes Centre is an international centre. Our scientific success is built on our international workforce, our international collaborations and our international outlook

Following the discovery of a new and very valuable enzyme which folds linear molecules into different shapes, scientists are building a ‘triterpene machine’ which will enable them to custom-build valuable chemical compounds called triterpenes and produce them in large, cost-effective quantities

A Norfolk plant scientist has been made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her work in understanding genetic regulation and for her commitment to advancing careers for women working in science

A researcher from Norwich is part of a consortium that has been awarded $1.5 million to develop safer polio vaccines, using a new technique developed at the John Innes Centre. The fight against polio has been one of the great success stories of modern medicine, with the disease already eliminated in much of the world....

In collaboration with researchers at Nanjing Agricultural University, Dr Tony Miller has developed rice crops with an improved ability to manage their own pH levels, enabling them to take up significantly more nitrogen, iron and phosphorous from soil and increase yield by up to 54%

Professor George Lomonossoff has been elected as the new President of the International Society for Plant Molecular Farming

Scientists have discovered how a gene that helps determine plant flowering time could help us breed better brassicas in the face of climate change
