Daiichi Sankyo is EMBL’s newest Corporate Partnership Programme associate partner. The fundamental research of many EMBL scientists has important implications for drug development. Daiichi Sankyo is specifically exploring ways to collaborate on this. embl.org/news/embl-anno…

The Marquez team at EMBL Grenoble created AXIS, an AI-driven training method for automated crystal screening and identification. Thanks to a lab-in-the-loop approach, the method is simple and effective, speeding up fragment-based drug design. embl.org/news/science-t…

From DNA Days to ocean nanoplastics to science videos in Catalan – EMBL scientists are finding new and interesting ways to engage the public and make the wonders of scientific discoveries more accessible to everyone. Learn more: embl.org/news/people-pe…

Open science accelerates discovery & ensures that scientific knowledge can be reused and built upon by the global community. Bastian Drees, Head of OSIM, talks about the steps EMBL is taking to implement open science practices at all levels. embl.org/news/people-pe…

Congratulations to Vikas Trivedi & collaborators for being awarded the HFSP grant! An international team coordinated by EMBL Barcelona researchers has been awarded $1.5M to study how developing organisms stay on track despite climate-driven temperature instability.

Biology is built on patterns too complex for us to easily interpret. AI can help bridge the gap, but it’s a two-way exchange: biology inspires AI, and AI delivers back. Here are 7 key takeaways from a recent EMBO | EMBL symposium on AI in life sciences: embl.org/news/science-t…

Welcome, Tony Hyman! EMBL welcomes its new Director General, Tony Hyman, as he takes up the mandate of leading EMBL's six sites. embl.org/news/embl-anno…

A new study maps the organisation of immune & stromal cells in lymph nodes and shows its association with prognosis in certain lymphomas. This has implications for long-term prognosis in cancer patients & can potentially open up new therapeutic avenues. embl.org/news/science-t…

(2/2) By tracking five fluorescent signals at once, they can observe multiple folding pathways and observe how proteins and other molecules interact with specific RNA structures, facilitating the development of drugs that target RNA. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

(1/2) EMBL researchers have developed a microscopy technique that enables them to observe individual RNA molecules being produced and folding into different shapes. Learn more: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A sea anemone looks very different from a coral, despite belonging to the same broad biological group. A new study from EMBL researchers and their colleagues sheds new light on how diversity arises in body shapes in the animal world. embl.org/news/science-t…

Erasmus MC and EMBL reveal the molecular mechanisms by which avian influenza evolves from a mild to a highly pathogenic strain. This occurs when the polymerase makes an error while copying the viral RNA into host cells, adding extra fragments.

EMBL hosted a visit from the Paul Scherrer Institute’s Life Sciences Department on 3-4 March. Lead scientists met to discuss their ongoing research and explore new collaborations in AI in life sciences, imaging and structural biology, and data analysis and management.

Meet Vicky Hatch 🇬🇧 Communications Officer at @emblebi. She turns complex research & tech tools into stories that inspire. When she’s not promoting the impact of bioinformatics & open data, Vicky is an avid souls-like gamer 🎮 & triathlon competitor. #WeAreEMBL

A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Institut Pasteur, and EMBL has shown in a Nature paper how the influenza polymerase, a molecular thief, uses the host RNA to replicate. Check out the MPI press release: mpinat.mpg.de/5179649/pr_2604

Is the linear map of cell signaling a myth? New research suggests the reality of cellular networks is far more complex. @savitski_lab & @saezlab combined experimental and computational expertise to test how we map kinase–substrate interactions. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Welcome, Sarah Dickinson Hyams! EMBL's new Head of People and Culture Development brings a passion for equality, diversity, and inclusion, plus a love for unlikely inspirational sources, including Winnie the Pooh! Learn more: embl.org/news/people-pe…

Congratulations, Lisa Maier and Stephen Cusack! The two EMBL alumni have received the 2026 John Kendrew and Lennart Philipson awards for their outstanding contributions to host–microbiome research and structure-guided drug development, respectively. embl.org/news/awards-ho…
