A unique environment for research
EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute has been a global leader in computational biology research since its inception in 1994.
With biology becoming ever more quantitative, there are unprecedented opportunities to create innovative approaches to big data challenges in biology and build practical solutions to real-world problems.
Our research groups remain at the forefront of this with a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, regularly publishing high-impact works on sequence and structural alignment, genome analysis, basic biological breakthroughs, algorithms and methods of widespread importance across the life sciences.
