Bulletin interne de l'Institut Pasteur
Two Institut Pasteur scientists elected as new members of the European Molecular Biology Organization
The aim of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) is to promote excellence in biology by supporting talented researchers at all stages of their careers, stimulating dialog and promoting the development of an outstanding scientific environment in the field of life sciences.
Some 50 to 60 researchers, leaders in their field, join EMBO each year after being elected in a highly selective process by the organization's members. Together with the other members, they play a fundamental role in organizing and influencing the direction of European biology research.
The prestigious organization recently announced the election of 58 new members, including Laure Bally-Cuif, Head of the Zebrafish Neurogenetics Unit, and François Spitz, Head of the Genomics and Epigenomics of Vertebrate Development Unit.
