Welcome to the Olson Lab
We are a group of biomedical researchers based in the Wolfson-Wellcome Biomedical Laboratories at the Natural History Museum in London where we work alongside other talented groups whose research is directed at improving our understanding of the natural world. We collaborate with many labs based at other institutions and are always happy to hear from people with shared interests.
