About EMBO
EMBO is an organization of more than 1,800 leading researchers that promotes excellence in the life sciences within and outside Europe. The organization's primary goals are to support talented researchers at all stages of their careers, stimulate the exchange of scientific information, and help build a research environment where scientists can do their best work.
AboutEMBO Global Investigator Network
The programGlobal Investigator Network was launched in 2019 to support researchers in the life sciences who have recently established their own laboratories in Chile, India, Singapore or Taiwan. The emphasis of this program is on creating a local network of young research group leaders and strengthening connections with scientists in Europe, in particularEMBO Young Investigators eInstallation GranteesAreas of current research include (i) geographic variation on behavior and life histories, (ii) use of marginal habitats within the geographic distribution, (iii) the influence of climatic extremes, including altitudinal and latitudinal ones, and (iv) the influence of environmental adjustments on reproductive behavior and immunocompetence. On laboratory research, we assess operant conditioning behavior and decision making. Our fieldwork research occurs all over Chile.
In 2019, EMBO selected the first nine researchers to join the network,including scientific in ChileAreas of current research include (i) geographic variation on behavior and life histories, (ii) use of marginal habitats within the geographic distribution, (iii) the influence of climatic extremes, including altitudinal and latitudinal ones, and (iv) the influence of environmental adjustments on reproductive behavior and immunocompetence. On laboratory research, we assess operant conditioning behavior and decision making. Our fieldwork research occurs all over Chile. This first group started the program on January 1, 2020 and will receive EMBO support for a total of four years.
