Former EMBL staff scientist founds a start-up – DenovAI – for broader, faster and cheaper antibody discovery using advanced machine learning and computational biophysics Antibodies are an important tool in the human immune system’s arsenal against disease. They attach to […]
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers due to its early local extension and metastatic behaviour. Some of the reasons for this high fatality rate are late diagnosis of the disease, especially since symptoms are unspecific and appear […]
We are one of the most medicated generations of humans to live on our planet. Cardiometabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and coronary artery disease continue to increase in prevalence and together constitute the highest cause of mortality worldwide. […]
Tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of death worldwide, infecting about one-quarter of the world’s population. Although it is treatable, the rise of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis poses a major threat to global health security, and has been declared by […]
Llama mini-antibodies and their synthetic imitations The ability of SARS-CoV-2 to infect cells depends on interactions between the viral spike protein and the human cell surface protein ACE2. To enable the virus to hook onto the cell surface, the spike […]
Researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and Stanford University have found the cause of dilated cardiomyopathy – a leading cause of heart failure – and identified a potential treatment for it: a drug already used to treat […]
An international team of scientists has uncovered how cells remove unwanted components from the nucleus following mitosis. The results, published in the journal Nature, stem from a fruitful collaboration between the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg and the Institute […]
A newly established research unit will support artificial intelligence and machine learning in the life sciences, and will link its activities in Heidelberg with other research institutes internationally. The unit is part of ELLIS – the European Laboratory for Learning and […]
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory has secured 6.8 million Euros funding from the European Commission to launch a unique training programme. The ARISE Programme will train and develop Europe’s next generation leadership for research infrastructures in the life sciences. Research […]
