  • Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University

    The Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University, opened in 2011, will house 150 scientists, technicians and support staff working at the frontiers of knowledge in plant growth and development, addressing some of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.

  • Visualization of the actin cytoskeleton (in green) in a Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis-infected Arabidopsis mesophyll cell The Sainsbury Laboratory - Norwich

    This Laboratory opened on the campus of the John Innes Centre in 1989 and has established a global reputation in plant and microbial science. The Lab is dedicated to daring, long-term research which will help reduce crop losses to important diseases.

  • Doreen Feike, Sainsbury PhD student, John Innes Centre Sainsbury PhD Studentships

    Rigorous selection criteria, generous funding, high expectations and a comprehensive package of training ensure our PhD studentships attract and develop exceptional talent among young scientists who will become tomorrow’s leaders in science.

  • Undergaduate at the Gatsby Plants Summer School Sainsbury Undergraduate Studentships

    Our undergraduate studentship scheme aims to identify excellent second-year undergraduates with an interest in plant science, and support them to continue in the subject through summer research projects in laboratories outside their place of study.

  • School students doing a SAPS practical Science and Plants for Schools

    We have supported Science and Plants for Schools for more than 20 years in its work to strengthen plant science education in schools by inspiring the next generation of plant scientists and supporting teachers to bring plant science to life for all pupils.

  • Gatsby Plants Summer School student looking down microscope Gatsby Plant Science Summer School

    This intensive week of talks from leading scientists, constructive careers sessions, eye-opening practicals and thought-provoking discussions with researchers and peers turns some of the UK’s brightest bioscience undergraduates on to a future in plant science.

  • A bacterial spot resistant tomato plant in field trials Two Blades Foundation

    We provide core funding to the Two Blades Foundation, a charitable organisation which supports the development of crops with long-term disease resistance, and promotes their deployment in agriculture worldwide, focusing particularly on developing countries.

  • Students at the Gatsby Plants Summer School TREE (Tool for Research-Engaged Education)

    Developed by the University of Leeds, the TREE is an online teaching tool giving access to downloadable lecture slides, on-line lectures, practicals, movies and other material on topical plant science to support lecturers in their teaching.

  • Microscopic image of plant cells Grants to Exceptional Researchers

    The Gatsby Plant Science small grants programme funds exceptional research projects that are unlikely to attract support from research councils or other funding agencies.

  • Nuffield School Science Bursary student working at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge Outreach and Engagement

    Promoting public engagement with contemporary science plays an important part in ensuring that today’s scientific research has a healthy future. We encourage and support students and scientists in their outreach work, both with schools and the wider public.
