The first heterodimer predictions are now available in the AlphaFold Database. Almost 80,000 high-confidence heterodimer predictions are openly available in the database, and a further 8.1 million lower-confidence heterodimer predictions are available for bulk download. This follows the addition of millions of predicted homodimer structures to the AlphaFold Database earlier this year. The update focused on 20 of the most studied species, as well as the World Health Organization’s (WHO) priority pathogens list. In the months since, the partnership turned its attention towards analysing heterodimers – protein complexes formed from two different proteins. This achievement is the result of a collaboration between EMBL-EBI, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and Seoul National University. A peer-reviewed paper with more details is in the pipeline, so please watch this space. Explore the data in the AlphaFold Database: https://lnkd.in/dzdzkeX

Over the past few weeks, I had the chance to help organize our Data Stewardship event from 11–13 May at EMBL 📊👩🏼💻 Being part of the organizing team gave me a completely new perspective on what it takes to bring an event like this together. Beyond the discussions around data stewardship, governance, and collaboration, I learned a lot from everything happening behind the scenes; from coordination and communication to organizing things like catering and handling unexpected challenges along the way. Really grateful to have been part of such a supportive and motivated team, and especially thankful to my supervisors Isabela Paredes Cisneros and Nina Habermann for trusting me with responsibilities throughout the event and giving me the opportunity to learn so much through the process☺️ #DataStewardship #Teamwork #Learning

At EMBL, #ARISE fellows are developing innovative technologies and tools for the scientific community across various fields! 🧬 If you need to analyze high-throughput sequencing data, check out Depictio. This easy-to-use, free coding skills tool was developed by ARISE fellow Thomas Weber at EMBL Heidelberg. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d783sGPC 🧪 Are you analysing the biophysical properties of proteins and other compounds? The #eSPC platform is an excellent resource for you. This user-friendly platform enables the analysis of biophysical properties such as mass, stability, and binding affinities, and was created by Osvaldo Burastero at EMBL Hamburg. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eC7d5jFr 💊 If your work involves protein dynamics and drug development, you should learn about EnsemblFlex. Developed by ARISE alumna Melanie Schneider, this tool makes sophisticated protein flexibility analysis accessible to everyone! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dYdcKBfa 📄 For those focused on data curation, explore Litsieve, a tool designed for the biocuration of scientific literature, developed by ARISE alumnus Matt Jeffryes at European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI. Additionally, you can explore AI-powered tools for RNA literature, such as LitSumm and GoFlowLLM, created by ARISE fellow Andrew Green. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dN3zKdyA https://lnkd.in/dY2RXGkU 🤖 If you are a structural biologist working on crystal detection, AXIS is an AI-based training system that can automate your crystal screening process. This tool was developed by ARISE fellow Aurélien Personnaz at EMBL Grenoble. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dNTEX5JB Take a look at these tools, and feel free to reach out to the developers to provide feedback! #researchtools #LifeSciences #innovation

Last week's Fit for Spring provided a variety of ways for scientists and other staff to enjoy each other's company and remember to prioritise your health!
Fit for Spring at EMBL Rome: impressions from a colourful week!! 🎨 It’s that time of the year again, and at EMBL Rome we came together for an amazing week full of energy, wellbeing, creativity, and fun! ✨ Alongside our regular campus activities — Zumba 🤸 , Yoga 🧘, and Running 🏃 — our staff also took part in: 🥋 a self-defense session 🎶 a Capoeira demonstration 🏓 table tennis competitions 🏐 volleyball matches We also embraced wellbeing and creativity beyond campus with: 🌳 a walk through the Natural Reserve of Tevere Farfa 🎨 a colourful scavenger hunt inspired by the EMBL colour palette It was a packed schedule, and the participation was incredible! 🙌 Most importantly, it was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our local community, welcome many new colleagues, and celebrate both mental and physical wellbeing together! Already looking forward to next year!

EMBL's sites each found their own way to participate in the annual weeklong Fit for Spring event that often includes informative talks and fun, collegial activities.
We had a wonderful time at the latest EMBL Fit for Spring event last week! While spring in the Alps is at its peak 🌞 🌳 ⛰️ , we enjoyed our popular activities such as running 🏃 , swimming 🏊 , bouldering 💪 , volleyball 🏐 , cricket 🏏 , badminton 🥍 , spikeball ⚽, and yoga 🧘 , as well as a new activity: an orientation run around the EPN campus 🕵 . We also took time to relax with reflexology and Tui Na massages💆 , and to boost our creativity with painting 🎨 and board games 🎲 . This beautiful week of fun and togetherness ended with our traditional table tennis tournament 🏓 . Last but not least, two EMBL Grenoble teams took part in the EMBL Step Contest. 🚶♂️ The 'Anaerobic Legends: Grenoble Drift' finished second 🥈 , achieving 1,216,411 steps and unlocking the gold award for reaching one million steps – congratulations! An honourable mention goes to the 'ensEMBLe' team, who unlocked the bronze award for reaching 350,000 steps. Thank you to our liaison officer Elise Bralet and to our enthusiastic colleagues who organised an amazing week of activities - Gharbi Sarah, Véronique MAYEUX, Diane Weirich, Anton Popov, Nilton Aranda Neto, Anaïs Lamy, PhD, Vinay Kedare, Jules Van Der Walt, Jonas Mehrens, Jean Poylo, and Nikita Sharaev.

Delighted to see the recent publication of the European Commission’s Global Health Resilience Initiative, which marks an important step for Europe’s scientific and health preparedness agenda. The recognition of open biodata resources and sustainable scientific data infrastructure is particularly significant. At EMBL we have always provided, enabled and advocated for strong, trusted, and accessible data systems as essential pillars for resilience, scientific progress, and effective international collaboration. An important milestone for Europe and for the wider global scientific community.

Can experimental and computational researchers “speak the same language”? Over the past few days, researchers from European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI and EMBL Barcelona came together to explore exactly that in the collaborative workshop, “Speaking the Same Language.” Through short talks, panel discussions, paired project exchanges, and brainstorming sessions, participants reflected on what makes interdisciplinary collaboration work — and where it can be challenging. From learning each other’s terminology or sharing scientific approaches, the workshop created a space for dialogue and mutual learning. Beyond the sessions, participants also had the chance to connect informally across the PRBB (Barcelona Biomedical Research Park) campus and by the Barcelona seafront, which made the conversations even more enjoyable and inspiring. Workshops like this are a great reminder that interdisciplinary science is not just about combining expertise; it’s about building trust, curiosity, and a shared understanding that can lead to new ideas and stronger collaborations.
