Campus – EMBL Monterotondo
EMBL Monterotondo
EMBL Monterotondo, the Mouse Biology Unit, is based at the Adriano BuzzatiTraverso campus in Monterotondo near Rome. It is a centre of excellence and
innovation in mouse genetics and functional genomics, offering cutting edge
expertise in mammalian physiology and production of sophisticated mouse
models of biological processes. The development of novel approaches to mouse
genetic manipulation is opening up new opportunities for collaborations both
within EMBL itself but also more widely with Italian research and clinical centres.
Dynamic partnerships and participations across Europe based on our expertise
in mouse research, developmental biology and neurobiology are integral parts of
our ongoing discovery process spanning genetics, genomics, epigenetics, cell
biology and pathology.

La Dolce Vita
The EMBL-Monterotondo is situated on the Adriano Buzzati-Traverso
campus, named after a prominent Italian scientist, on the banks of
the Tiber River, 30 km north of central Rome.
The Eternal City is an easy train ride away, and the nearby Lazio
countryside features medieval hill towns, spectacular mountain terrain
and beautiful lakes – perfect for hiking, biking, skiing and swimming.
