The European Molecular Biology Laboratory drives visionary research and technology development in the life sciences.
Info
Founded in 1974, EMBL is Europe’s flagship laboratory for the life sciences – an intergovernmental organisation with more than 80 independent research groups covering the spectrum of molecular biology. It operates across six sites: Heidelberg, Barcelona, Hamburg, Grenoble, Rome and EMBL-EBI Hinxton. www.embl.org | www.embl.org/jobs Our mission is to perform basic research in molecular biology; to offer vital services to scientists in the member states; to train scientists, students and visitors at all levels; to develop new instruments and methods in the life sciences and actively engage in technology transfer activities, and to integrate European life science research. What we offer to you: • Competitive salaries exempt from national taxes • Range of benefits, from relocation support to family allowances • Flexible and friendly working environment • Certified training and continued development of your professional and personal skills

The Friends of EMBL programme engages a diverse range of individuals to support and connect with EMBL research. Events like a 'PhD Lunch' and strategic philanthropic efforts have engaged members, who have helped advance key initiatives such as a Women in Science initiative, EMBL’s Scientific Visitors Programme, the Environmental Research Initiative, and EMBL’s World of Molecular Biology exhibition. This year’s donations will accelerate the development of a first-in-class CrystalDirect4 robot prototype as the group reflects on a decade of collaborative growth that continues to strengthen the relationship between science and society. #EMBL50 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eRAJwmCq Matthias W.

There are more genetic differences between individual cells in our bodies than between different human beings. Researchers at EMBL and the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology of the Max Delbrück Center found that blood stem cells from healthy people carry major chromosomal alterations. Approximately one in 40 human bone marrow cells carry massive chromosomal alterations, without causing any apparent disease or abnormality. In addition, cell samples from people over the age of 60 tend to have higher numbers of cells with such genomic alterations, suggesting a previously unidentified mechanism that may contribute to #ageing-related diseases.

Stephen Cusack, former Head of EMBL Grenoble and world-renowned structural biologist, joined EMBL in 1977 as a postdoctoral fellow. We recently had the chance to chat with him about his long scientific career and the lessons he’s learned as he embarks on his next big adventure. https://lnkd.in/eSKng4VU #EMBL50

This is one of the largest studies of its kind and looked at the 20 most commonly-occurring cancer types. A proof of concept that comprehensive health data records can be leveraged to inform cancer screening programmes.
Early detection of cancer leads to better clinical outcomes, but current screening programmes are limited. Researchers have used Danish health registry data to develop a statistical model that can predict an individual’s risk of developing cancer, based on their family history, disease history, and lifestyle. This work shows that health registries can be used to identify individuals who are at high risk of developing different cancer types. In the long run, such models could potentially guide cancer screening programmes to enable earlier detection. https://lnkd.in/entH4WRW #cancerresearch #cancerscreening #statistics #bioinformatics DKFZ German Cancer Research Center Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen UK Biobank Ewan Birney

A new study by EMBL scientists and collaborators at EPFL, Lausanne, shows how animal cell division may have evolved long before animals themselves did. The study, published in Nature, suggests how modes of mitosis may be linked to different types of life cycles in marine protists called Ichthyosporeans, close relatives of animals and fungi. https://lnkd.in/eJ9wY7WF #ResearchHighlight | Gautam Dey | Omaya Dudin | Hiral Shah | Yannick Schwab | Paolo Ronchi |

Today EMBL and life scientists from across Slovenia came together to share and discuss the wide range of opportunities that EMBL offers to researchers in the life sciences; from facilities, to advanced training to technology transfer. Thanks to our hosts at the National Institute of Biology, to the Slovenian Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, and to all attendees at the EMBL Info Day in Slovenia
Danes smo na Nacionalnem inštitutu gostili ugledno delegacijo Evropskega laboratorija za molekularno biologijo (EMBL). Srečanje je otvoril dr. Tomaž Boh, generalni direktor Direktorata za znanost in inovacije na Ministrstvo za visoko šolstvo, znanost in inovacije / Ministry of HE, Science and Innovation. Na dogodku, ki se ga je udeležila slovenska znanstvena in strokovna javnost s širšega področja znanosti o življenju, smo spoznali bogat nabor aktivnosti, ki jih nudi članstvo v EMBL-ju, vključno z njihovimi laboratorijskimi zmogljivostmi. Predstavljeni so bili tudi primeri dobrih praks iz primerljivih evropskih držav, ki so že članice EMBL-ja. Razvila se je tudi pomembna diskusija slovenske znanstvene skupnosti na področju znanosti o življenju. Razprava predstavlja dragoceno izhodišče za pripravo slovenskega "Načrta razvoja raziskovalne infrastrukture", ki bo vsebinska podlaga za odločanje o naši prihodnji vključitvi Slovenije v EMBL.

Toby Gibson started as an EMBL postdoc in 1986 and retired recently after 38 years. His collaborative work on Clustal and a database of short linear motifs has impacted research in myriad biological directions, including vaccine design and helping to illuminate our understanding of diseases like Epstein-Barr, COVID, and cancer. Looking back, he supplied stories & insights into what he’s learned along the way. Read about them at the link. #EMBL50 https://lnkd.in/edzKsArb

A study from the Hackett group at EMBL Rome led to the development of a powerful epigenetic editing technology. The system unlocks the ability to precisely program chromatin modifications at any specific position in the genome, to understand their causal role in transcription regulation. This innovative approach will help to investigate the role of chromatin modifications in many biological processes, and to program desired gene activity responses, which may prove useful in disease settings. https://lnkd.in/d982qCxy
