30 June 2017 - BIO Retain the John Innes Centre Football Tournament Cup
The BIO staff & postgraduate football team, captained by Tamas, have retained the John Innes Centre Football Tournament title for a second year! BIO have only taken part in the tournament twice and both times have become champions. The final this year was an exact replicate of the previous year, beating Earlham Institute 3-2 in a fierce game that saw BIO 2-1 down at half time. BIO now remain unbeaten in 11 games! The team this year was Tamas Dalmay (c), Darrell Green (Dalmay lab), Ethan Drury (Rowley lab), Stuart Nayar (Hajihosseini lab), Jon Todd (Todd lab) and Abdullah Alghamdi (Robinson lab).

The Dalmay Lab
The Dalmay lab is a good mix of international postdocs and students from the School of Biological Sciences, Norwich Medical School and School of Computing Sciences at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. We use molecular techniques to study small RNAs that regulate the expression of protein coding genes. Our research involves a variety of species including both plants and animals. Most projects involve a strong bioinformatics component. Please take a look around our site to find out who works in our group, the research we do and the papers we have published.
