From human cohorts to model systems research and developing new computational methods, EMBL aims to pave the way for understanding the molecular basis of genotype and environmental interactions underlying human health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/editorhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/human-ecosystems-embl-programme-2022-2026.pdf\" target=\"\">\n    <button
