WALKTHROUGH OF THE JOHN INNES CENTRE
By Sebastian Samwald | 5:00 PM IST | 29 August 2020
Join researcher Sebastian Samwald live from the lab to find out what it’s like to study the science of plants.
Basti is a PhD student at the John Innes Centre, an independent, international centre of excellence in plant science, genetics and microbiology in the UK. His research focusses on understanding the molecular workings inside plant cells. In his most recent work, he and other researchers determined the inner processes of how plant cells undergo self-isolation from other plant cells when they are faced with a pathogen.
The event will show you the spaces and tools researchers like Basti use to learn about plants, from plant growth rooms through to microscopes.
About John Innes Centre
The John Innes Centre is an independent, international centre of excellence in plant science and microbiology based in Norwich, UK.
The John Innes Centre’s mission is to generate knowledge of plants and microbes through innovative research, to train the scientists of the future and to engage with the public and policymakers. This understanding of nature’s diversity can then be applied to the benefit of agriculture, the environment, human health, and wellbeing.
