Sainsbury Laboratory

The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL) is a research institute located at the Norwich Research Park in Norwich, Norfolk, England, that carries out fundamental biological research and technology development on aspects of plant disease, plant disease resistance and microbial symbiosis in plants. History In 1987, an agreement was signed to establish The Sainsbury Laboratory. This agreement made the laboratory a joint venture between several organizations, including the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, the John Innes Foundation, the University of East Anglia, and the Agricultural and Food Research Council (now BBSRC). Later that year, the laboratory employed its first members of staff. Then, in 1989, The Sainsbury Laboratory moved into its current building. This building was constructed alongside the John Innes Centre on the Norwich Research Park. Research The Sainsbury Laboratory conducts research on various topics related to plant-microbe interactions.
