LMB Life

The LMB is home to a lively, international community with over 50 different nationalities. Collaboration thrives in an informal, inclusive environment where scientists, technical specialists and support staff connect easily.

Staff at all levels can contribute to life at the LMB through groups such as the Green Committee, EDI Working Group, Postdoc Association of the LMB (PAL), Graduate Student Association (GSA) and the Technician Commitment Committee.

Away from the lab bench or desk, the LMB offers regular social events and staff-led clubs on a range of topics, including arts and crafts, board games, sports and meditation.

A wide array of relaxed breakout areas, quiet spaces and a top-floor restaurant with panoramic views encourage informal gatherings.
