The Sainsbury Laboratory (TSL) is a research institute located at the Norwich Research Park (NRP) 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. It was founded in 1987.

Research

Fundamental research

At present there are six TSL research groups concentrating on several key areas of fundamental research, each headed by a single group leader.

Understanding how fungi are able to cause disease in plants, specifically one of the world’s most devastating diseases called rice blast - Prof. Nick Talbot
How plants resist plant pathogens, and how pathogens suppress resistance – Prof. Jonathan Jones
Interactions between plants and pathogens, notably the Irish potato famine organism and the rice and wheat blast fungus – Prof. Sophien Kamoun
Understanding the genetic architecture underlying non-host resistance – Dr Matthew Moscou
Translational research leveraging the advanced understanding of molecular host-pathogen interactions at TSL to deliver new solutions against relevant plant diseases – Dr Peter van Esse
Receptor kinase-mediated innate immunity in plants – Prof. Cyril Zipfel

Training

TSL provides a training environment with the intention of preparing post-graduate students, post-doctoral scientists and early career project leaders to excel in their careers. This includes training from the expert technology groups in plant tissue culture and transformation, bioinformatics and computational biology, proteomics, and synthetic biology as well as mentoring from established scientists.

Facilities

TSL provides its researchers access to compute clusters, mass spectrometers, confocal high content screening microscopy and plant growth and transformation facilities.

Technology development

The four core technology teams of TSL develop new technologies to enhance TSL research and provide direct expert support and guidance to the other groups of TSL.

Bioinformatics – Dr Dan MacLean
Proteomics – Dr Frank Menke
Synthetic Biology – Mark Youles
Tissue Culture and Transformation – Matthew Smoker

Notable people

A number of outstanding scientists have worked at TSL, including;

David Baulcombe
Jonathan D. G. Jones
Martin Parniske
Sophien Kamoun
Nick Talbot

Funding

The Gatsby Charitable Foundation provide around 50% of funding for The Sainsbury Laboratory,^[1] with the remainder coming from competitive BBSRC and European Research Council grants.^[2]
