One of the best parts of my job is seeing brilliant scientists find a home for their research and thrive with the support around them. Hear from some of our early career group leaders about their experiences of starting their labs.

Opening my lab @crick.ac.uk two years ago has been a privilege, a delight and ultimately the most transformative experience of my sciencific career. Discovery science without boundaries, inspiring colleagues and infinite possibilities. Come join us!
