Bringing Digital Biology To Life

Research in molecular life science is becoming data-intensive. As new technologies enable EMBL’s scientists to acquire more – and more complex – data, the IT Services team deploys innovative approaches to help them store, analyse and make sense of that wealth of information.

IT Infrastructure

At EMBL Heidelberg, the IT infrastructure is designed to support data-driven science involving key technologies such as genome sequencing, large-scale imaging, computational biology and modelling.

3D Cloud: Efficient image analysis

The EMBL 3D Cloud is a flexible, scalable virtualisation infrastructure that enables users to process microscopy data without having to move large datasets multiple times.

What EMBL researchers say

Handling datasets

Alba Diz-Muñoz – Group Leader, Cell Biology and Biophysics Unit

“What I find very special about the IT department here is that you can come to them with a problem and they’ll solve it very quickly. The efficiency of the team is really remarkable.”

Efficient computation

Jaime Huerta – Research Scientist, Bork Group

“I’m very happy with the new system they’re setting up, which is the state-of-the-art in high-performance computing.”
