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.
Written by event reporter Ayushi Rehman At the outset, I would like to thank the team of EMBL Events for giving me the opportunity to attend the conference and for providing a platform to share my view on the EMBL Conference ‘The expanding world of RBPs: from posttranscriptional control to…
In May 2024, members of the EMBL-EBI Training Team attended the Global Bioinformatics Education Summit in New York to discuss challenges and opportunities in bioinformatics education.
Eva Klimentová from the Masaryk University in Czech Republic attended our recent 'AI and biology' symposium as an event reporter. Read on to discover the five main takeaways from the meeting and to find out more about Eva's experience in Heidelberg.
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…
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…
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…
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…
The COVID-19 pandemic affected all aspects of our daily lives, including what it means to be part of a scientific community and how we interact and work with each other. However, thanks to advances in technology and availability of different software tools and equipment, virtualisation has steadily…
Written by event reporter Elisa Heinzelmann The ability to grow human tissues from stem cells in 3D culture has the potential to revolutionize drug discovery processes and regenerative medicine. Building on a long tradition of cell and developmental biology knowledge, organoids resembling a variety…
Vera Janssen, a PhD student at the Amsterdam Medical Centre in the Netherlands visited the conference as a graduate intern in 2019 and returned this year as a conference reporter.
