EMBL-EBI champions open data in the life sciences, with data sets spanning genomics, proteins, small molecules, ontologies and more. They were a natural partner for Google DeepMind to host the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database, now making over 200m protein structure predictions freely available to scientists globally.
Prof Dame Janet Thornton and Mihaly Varadi are helping transform biology at the European Bioinformatics Institute of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL-EBI), an intergovernmental research organisation funded by over 20 member states.
