He is supported by the Office of Scientific Operations. Administration Advanced Training History Research Cell biology and biophysics Scientists in this unit use multidisciplinary approaches to investigate the molecular and biophysical mechanisms that enable cells to function. Developmental biology Scientists in the Developmental biology unit seek to understand the fundamental principles that govern multicellular development. Directors' research The Directors' research unit covers thematically distinct research groups, headed by EMBL and EMBO leadership. Genome biology The Genome biology unit uses and develops cutting-edge methods to study how the information in our genome is regulated, processed, and utilised, and how its alteration leads to disease. Structural and computational biology Scientists in this unit use integrated structural and computational techniques to study biology at scales from molecular structures to organismal communities. Services and facilities Research at EMBL is supported by the development of enabling technologies that are made available to the scientific community in its Core facilities, eight of which are located at EMBL Heidelberg. Core facilities provide practical tools and expert advice for life scientists.
