Bioinformatics
Analysing data to unravel biological complexity
Bioinformatics research
Researchers at EMBL-EBI make sense of vast, complex biological datasets produced using new and emerging technologies in molecular biology.
Cell biology and biophysics
Scientists in this unit use multidisciplinary approaches to investigate the molecular and biophysical mechanisms that enable cells to function.
Developmental biology
Scientists in the Developmental biology unit seek to understand the fundamental principles that govern multicellular development.
Directors' research
The Directors' research unit covers thematically distinct research groups, headed by EMBL and EMBO leadership.
Epigenetics and neurobiology
At EMBL Rome, scientists explore the connections between genome, environment, and neural function.
Genome biology
The Genome biology unit uses and develops cutting-edge methods to study how the information in our genome is regulated, processed, and utilised, and how its alteration leads to disease.
Structural and computational biology
Scientists in this unit use integrated structural and computational techniques to study biology at scales from molecular structures to organismal communities.
Structural biology
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.
Tissue biology and disease modelling
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.
