Our mission is to train scientists. This blog is a platform for us to share updates on our annual programme, tips and tricks for scientists, new e-learning opportunities, and sometimes just something to make you smile.
The current therapeutic approaches to cardiovascular dysfunction are either organ-centric or tackle the consequences of end-stage cardiovascular disease (CVD). This new EMBO Workshop around cardiobiology aimed to transform the established organ-centric view on single cardiovascular organs into a…
In a world often overshadowed by stress, turmoil, and uncertainty, the pursuit of happiness remains a universal aspiration. On 20 March, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of Happiness, a day dedicated to recognising the importance of happiness and well-being in our lives.…
The first conference of the year brought together cryo-EM academic communities and industry partners to evaluate how the use of cryo-EM has developed over the last decade. The researchers provided updates on recent and ongoing methodological developments and focused on the integration of cryo-ET…
Learn how to apply metabarcoding analysis to eDNA for assessing biodiversity with the NERC Environmental Omics Facility (NEOF), UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UK-CEH), and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Insitute. Sequencing DNA barcodes from mixed sources of DNA is being increasingly…
At the beginning of December 2023, the EMBO Workshop ‘Computational structural biology’ brought together scientists to discuss the manifold trials to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as deep learning, to solve great challenges in the field of structural biology…
Written by event reporter Ahmed Adel Ezat The past decade has witnessed several trials to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as deep learning (DL), to solve grand challenges in the field of structural biology and biophysics of biomolecules. One of these challenges is the protein…
Last November we welcomed leading researchers in the field to discuss different subcortical circuits involving various sensory modalities and revisit their increasingly complex and interconnected contributions to perception, behavior, and cognition. The new EMBO Workshop ‘Subcortical…
A few weeks ago, the EMBL Conference ‘Cancer genomics’ brought scientists from diverse disciplines connected to cancer research, creating a unique opportunity for interaction and fostering greater integration of these collaborative efforts. The event was nothing short of amazing, with…
Written by event reporter Daniela Castillo Perez The 2023 edition of the EMBL–Wellcome Connecting Science Conference ‘Proteomics in cell biology and disease mechanisms’ was highly organised to cover a broad range of topics. The event was composed by a very dynamic program including…
Have you ever stopped to marvel at the beautiful landscaping of the EMBL campus, full of fascinating flowers, colourful foliage, and diverse plants? We have three dedicated gardeners to thank for making EMBL Heidelberg’s grounds comparable to that of a botanical garden. Georg Körber, Head…
