International laboratory and pharmaceutical equipment supplier, Sartorius has announced a partnership with EMBL, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. One of Europe’s leading research institutions, EMBL has research sites in Heidelberg and Hamburg in Germany, Hinxton in the UK, Grenoble in France and Monterotondo in Italy.

In addition, Sartorius will also provide long-term support to EMBL’s school education program by funding travel bursaries each year for teachers to attend courses run by EMBL’s Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences, ELLS.
