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.
In April 2024 we had the pleasure of hosting the inaugural edition of the EMBO | EMBL Symposium ‘Diversity of plants: from genomes to metabolism’ at the Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg. The new community flourished together during the four days of top-notch talks, coffee breaks…
Just a few weeks ago we held another edition of this successful series. Scientists from multiple disciplines came together in order to discuss common themes linked to oscillations, rythms and synchronization in a broad range of contexts. The organisers of the symposium wanted to bridge the gap…
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…
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…
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…
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…
In early November (yes, it’s December already! ❄️), the EMBO Workshop ‘The mobile genome: genetic and physiological impacts of transposable elements’ took place in Heidelberg and virtually. It was a great workshop with lots of lively discussions, two amazing keynote speakers,…
This years 'Organoids' EMBO | EMBL symposium resulted in six best poster prize winners. Find out who they are and learn about their latest research!
