@embl.org@embl.orgHow is AI helping us better understand the brain?
At EMBL Rome, AI helps researchers build computational models of how the brain predicts, adapts, and responds to unexpected change.

@embl.orgResearchers worldwide, including at EMBL, have used and modified this technology to make exciting life science discoveries, especially in the fields of neuroscience, embryonic development, and cellular mechanobiology.
@embl.orgOptogenetics is a method that uses channelrhodopsin, a protein first identified in algae, as a light-controlled switch in cells.
@embl.orgHow does an embryo switch from relying on maternal molecules to activating its own genome?
Researchers at EMBL Rome reveal that this transition is driven by a flexible, coordinated process of genome activation rather than by a single molecular trigger.

@embl.orgOur oceans are incredibly diverse. They’re home to over 200,000 known species, most too tiny to be seen. Christopher Rhodes, an ARISE Fellow in the Pepperkok Group at EMBL Heidelberg, combines AI and microscopy to study phytoplankton – a group comprising some of the ocean’s most vital organisms.
