EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) develops and maintains numerous community databases, tools, and software that are freely available to all.
Structural biology and imaging services enable life to be visualised across scales: from atomic snapshots of moving proteins to detailed videos of molecules within cells, tissues or organisms.
The EMBL Imaging Centre, which opened in the summer of 2021, encompasses cutting-edge electron and light microscopies technologies.
EMBL supports researchers in performing functional omics analyses, to better understand the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome.
Chemistry biology services at EMBL offer infrastructure and expertise to researchers interested in optimising biologically-relevant chemical compounds and gaining insights into protein function.
EMBL’s in vivo gene editing services harness new technologies to experimentally modify or edit genomes to understand their function.
EMBL supports users by preparing samples for use as part of EMBL’s structural biology and imaging services.
EMBL's Mobile Laboratories enable researchers to perform sophisticated environmental sampling campaigns, experiments and analyses directly in field settings.
EMBL IT Services provide IT infrastructure, services and support to EMBL’s scientific community and administration in Heidelberg, Rome, Barcelona, as well as other EMBL sites.

EditWith support from more than 30 countries, laboratories at six sites across Europe and thousands of scientists and engineers working together, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is a powerhouse of biological expertise. EMBL is an intergovernmental organisation, headquartered in Heidelberg, and was founded in 1974 with the mission of promoting molecular biology research in Europe, training young scientists, and developing new technologies.
EMBL currently employs more than 1800 people in Barcelona, Grenoble, Hamburg, Heidelberg, EMBL-EBI Hinxton (near Cambridge), and Rome.
Publishing hundreds of research articles and hosting dozens of conferences every year, EMBL is driving visionary fundamental research and training Europe’s future scientific talent.
