Human Ecosystems

Studying how the environment impacts human health

Recent technological advances, both experimental and computational, make it possible to address key questions that will bring a quantitative, mechanistic, and molecular understanding of environmental effects on human biology. Human Ecosystems research and services at EMBL aim to arrive at a molecular understanding of how we interact with our physical, biological, and social environments to identify avenues for the mitigation and treatment of disease.
