A unique approach to scientific services in Europe
EMBL provides life science researchers in Europe and beyond with access to the very latest in scientific technologies, infrastructure, and data resources.
Learn more about our Scientific Services
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 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. Our mission is to empower our users by providing a state-of-the-art, affordable and easy-to-use IT environment.
