A city of about 130,000 inhabitants, Heidelberg
is home to Germany's oldest university, as well
as leading biological and medical science institutes
such as the Centre for Molecular Biology, the German
Cancer Research Center [DKFZ] and the Max Planck
Institute for Medical Research, making it an ideal
site for EMBL's Main Laboratory. Nestling in the
wooded hills above the city, the complex is home
to five of EMBL's scientific Units, namely gene
expression, cell biology and biophysics, developmental
biology, structural and computational biology and
directors' research, as well as core facilities
and the central administration, from which service
functions are provided for the use of staff working
at any of the five EMBL sites.
Today more than 800 staff members are located at EMBL Heidelberg, and the close proximity of the other excellent institutes has led to numerous long-term collaborations in scientific projects, training and conferences.
EMBL shares a campus with its sister organisation, the European Molecular Biology Organization. The two share strong historical ties and work together in many ways; for example, to carry out many highly-recognised international courses and conferences.
Heidelberg is also home to EMBLEM,
the Laboratory's technology transfer company. Other
important central functions can be found on the
Heidelberg campus, such as the offices of the International
PhD Programme and the Science
and Society Programme. |
