This year, close to 200 scientists, journalists, and policy makers came together in the EMBL Advanced Training Centre to discuss the theme for the evening, \u2018young talent\u2019. Attendees mingled, meeting friends old and new, on this balmy spring evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-13287\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"380\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1804_Annualreception_Image07.jpg\" alt=\"Iain Mattaj introducing the topic 'young talent' to 200 attendees at the Annual Reception. \" class=\"wp-image-13287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1804_Annualreception_Image07.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1804_Annualreception_Image07-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Iain Mattaj introducing the topic &#8216;young talent&#8217; to 200 attendees at the Annual Reception.

He spoke about the importance of nurturing young scientists and EMBL\u2019s role in this; ensuring that young scientists have access to the best and newest technologies, whilst creating a collaborative atmosphere in which life-long networks are forged. By picking some of the many successful alumni-stories, including <a href=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/science\/jacques-dubochet-awarded-nobel-prize-for-chemistry\/\">Jacques Dubochet<\/a> who recently received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work done at EMBL, Iain Mattaj proved that EMBL\u2019s concept of encouraging promising, young scientists to pursue ambitious research goals is indeed successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborative projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet EMBL does not only support scientists. It also wants to kindle the curiosity and passion that is characteristic of budding scientists. Thus, Iain Mattaj highlighted how EMBL is committed to supporting these even younger talents, through projects such as those run by ELLS, in which school students <a href=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/events\/fluorescence-microscopes-suitcase-science\/\">built and used fluorescence microscopes<\/a>, and the upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.karlstorbahnhof.de\/content\/gesamtprogramm\/2018_05\/embl_science_movie_night_contagion_170518\/?c=Partys&amp;l=Saal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EMBL Science Movie Night<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, EMBL group leader, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/research\/units\/genome_biology\/huber\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wolfgang Huber,<\/a> gave this year\u2019s Friends of EMBL lecture. He introduced his team\u2019s research, which focusses on mining huge biological datasets by machine learning. Their work includes a collaborative project between EMBL, Heidelberg University, and the DKFZ which uses biopsies of blood cancer cells from cancer patients to test them for their response to known and novel drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"vf-figure wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-13284\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"380\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/news.embl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1804_Annualreception_Image06.jpg\" alt=\"Guests at the Annual Reception. \" class=\"wp-image-13284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1804_Annualreception_Image06.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.embl.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/1804_Annualreception_Image06-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><figcaption class=\"vf-figure__caption\">Guests at the Annual Reception.

They also met with some of EMBL\u2019s young talent from the predoctoral and postdoctoral programmes to get first-hand insights into life in the lab. Guests were interested to find out about the young scientists\u2019 poignant lab moments and what inspires them to continue within research. These interesting chats went on late into the evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 12, EMBL hosted 200 attendees at its Annual Reception in Heidelberg and highlighted its role as a training hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":13285,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3],"tags":[474,92,270,43,139,13072],"embl_taxonomy":[19549,5802],"class_list":["post-13283","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-lab-matters","tag-collaboration","tag-event","tag-friends-of-embl","tag-heidelberg","tag-outreach","tag-support-embl","embl_taxonomy-friends-of-embl","embl_taxonomy-support-embl"],"acf":{"article_intro":"<p>On April 12, EMBL hosted 200 attendees at its Annual Reception in Heidelberg and highlighted its role as a training hub<\/p>\n","related_links":[{"link_description":"","link_url":""},{"link_description":"","link_url":""},{"link_description":"","link_url":""}],"article_sources":false,"vf_locked":false,"featured":false,"color":"#007B53","show_featured_image":false,"field_target_display":"embl","source_article":false,"in_this_article":false,"press_contact":"None","vfwp-news_embl_taxonomy":[5802,19549],"field_article_language":{"value":"english","label":"English"},"article_translations":false,"languages":""},"embl_taxonomy_terms":[{"uuid":"a:3:{i:0;s:36:\"302cfdf7-365b-462a-be65-82c7b783ebf7\";i:1;s:36:\"69e1d012-360d-4754-bf0f-9e1185643e9f\";i:2;s:36:\"e525eafd-1fa3-4ff0-9b58-7f2d75b37d33\";}","parents":[],"name":["Friends of EMBL"],"slug":"friends-of-embl","description":"What &gt; Support EMBL &gt; Friends of EMBL"},{"uuid":"a:3:{i:0;s:36:\"302cfdf7-365b-462a-be65-82c7b783ebf7\";i:1;s:36:\"bc1eaadd-1f50-4140-8e9b-e58fc33a39fc\";i:2;s:36:\"69e1d012-360d-4754-bf0f-9e1185643e9f\";}","parents":[],"name":["Support EMBL"],"slug":"support-embl","description":"What &gt; About EMBL &gt; Support EMBL"}],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
