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 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…
In early November (yes, it’s December already! ❄️), the EMBO Workshop ‘The mobile genome: genetic and physiological impacts of transposable elements’ took place in Heidelberg and virtually. It was a great workshop with lots of lively discussions, two amazing keynote speakers,…
The EMBL Course ‘Genome engineering: CRISPR/Cas from cells to mice’ is always a highly anticipated and appreciated course amongst our community. Participants learn all about guideRNA design/donor design specific for their targets using commercial and open resource tools, how to generate gene…
