Our mission is to train scientists. This blog is a platform for us to share updates on our annual programme, tips and tricks for scientists, new e-learning opportunities, and sometimes just something to make you smile.
Eva Klimentová from the Masaryk University in Czech Republic attended our recent 'AI and biology' symposium as an event reporter. Read on to discover the five main takeaways from the meeting and to find out more about Eva's experience in Heidelberg.
In case you missed 'AI and biology' we are presenting the best poster prize winners. Read on to find out about their research!
The current therapeutic approaches to cardiovascular dysfunction are either organ-centric or tackle the consequences of end-stage cardiovascular disease (CVD). This new EMBO Workshop around cardiobiology aimed to transform the established organ-centric view on single cardiovascular organs into a…
In a world often overshadowed by stress, turmoil, and uncertainty, the pursuit of happiness remains a universal aspiration. On 20 March, the world comes together to celebrate the International Day of Happiness, a day dedicated to recognising the importance of happiness and well-being in our lives.…
The first conference of the year brought together cryo-EM academic communities and industry partners to evaluate how the use of cryo-EM has developed over the last decade. The researchers provided updates on recent and ongoing methodological developments and focused on the integration of cryo-ET…
Learn how to apply metabarcoding analysis to eDNA for assessing biodiversity with the NERC Environmental Omics Facility (NEOF), UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UK-CEH), and EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Insitute. Sequencing DNA barcodes from mixed sources of DNA is being increasingly…
At the beginning of December 2023, the EMBO Workshop ‘Computational structural biology’ brought together scientists to discuss the manifold trials to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as deep learning, to solve great challenges in the field of structural biology…
Written by event reporter Ahmed Adel Ezat The past decade has witnessed several trials to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as deep learning (DL), to solve grand challenges in the field of structural biology and biophysics of biomolecules. One of these challenges is the protein…
Last November we welcomed leading researchers in the field to discuss different subcortical circuits involving various sensory modalities and revisit their increasingly complex and interconnected contributions to perception, behavior, and cognition. The new EMBO Workshop ‘Subcortical…
A few weeks ago, the EMBL Conference ‘Cancer genomics’ brought scientists from diverse disciplines connected to cancer research, creating a unique opportunity for interaction and fostering greater integration of these collaborative efforts. The event was nothing short of amazing, with…
