Effective solutions can only be found by working together, across disciplines, and across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this spirit, <strong>EMBL<\/strong>, Europe\u2019s leading research institute in molecular biology, and <strong>Stanford University<\/strong>, an internationally renowned center in research and education, have established the Life Science Alliance. By bringing together the best researchers from&nbsp;clinicians to engineers, chemists and biologists, we can gain a global understanding of the problems and create breakthroughs in biomedical research. In bridging these two institutions, we are leveraging our complementary strengths and creating an interdisciplinary research network for the benefit of the life science communities worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"   open=\"open\">\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nSupport<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>The Life Science Alliance is supported by generous private donations.&nbsp;Without their support, many of our transformative, high-risk projects could not be pursued, and our efforts to bring together the wider scientific community would not be possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our donors understand that advances in biomedical research will help our communities.
