EMBL Programme
Renewed every five years, the Programme guides EMBL to push boundaries in research, services, training and technology.
From genomes to organisms, EMBL is exploring the secrets of life
EMBL's diverse research programme is pushing the limits of biological knowledge, with our researchers developing innovative techniques and technologies as part of the process.
Renewed every five years, the Programme guides EMBL to push boundaries in research, services, training and technology.
EMBL works with various partners in the biological sciences to unravel the mysteries of life.
EMBL’s interdisciplinary structure is ideally suited to the challenge of studying and understanding biological systems in their full complexity.
Wherever possible our databases and software are freely available to the scientific community, and we strongly encourage open access publication.
Researchers at EMBL-EBI make sense of vast, complex biological datasets produced using new and emerging technologies in molecular biology.
Scientists in this unit use multidisciplinary approaches to investigate the molecular and biophysical mechanisms that enable cells to function.
Scientists in the Developmental Biology Unit seek to understand the fundamental principles that govern multicellular development.
This unit covers thematically distinct research groups, headed by EMBL and EMBO leadership.
At EMBL Rome, scientists explore the connections between genome, environment, and neural function.
Scientists in the Genome Biology Unit use and develop cutting-edge methods to study how information across different molecular layers (DNA, RNA, Proteins, metabolites) are regulated, processed, and utilised, and how their variation leads to different phenotypes, including disease.
Scientists in this unit use integrated structural and computational techniques to study biology at scales from molecular structures to organismal communities.
At its sites in Hamburg and Grenoble, EMBL provides its researchers and hundreds of external users each year with access to world-leading sources of X-ray and neutron radiation, enabling them to study the structures of biological molecules.
Scientists at EMBL Barcelona use advanced technologies to observe, manipulate, and model how changes in genes percolate through cells, tissues, and organs, in health and disease.
