Mutualism Lab at the John Innes Centre

November 26, 2025

After five incredible years in Tübingen, it’s time to say goodbye.

Starting February, the Mutualisms Lab will relocate to the John Innes Centre in Norwich, right next door to Aileen Berasategui and her group at The Sainsbury Laboratory.

There are several openings available for graduate and postgraduate training, listed in our Opportunities page.

Hassan, Aileen, and a local resident by the Norwich Cathedral.
