It undertakes research in structural and molecular biology, notably using crystallographic techniques to obtain atomic structures of multi-protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes involved in transcription, innate immunity, virus replication and non-coding RNAs. It also builds and operates beamlines for macromolecular crystallography, develops instrumentation and techniques, and provides facilities and expertise to visitors in collaboration with its European Photon and Neutron (EPN) Campus partners: the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ERSF), the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) and the Institut de Biologie Structurale (IBS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 40<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary event programme focuses on the contributions of EMBL Grenoble to structural biology, with a forward look towards the next decade.
