What is European Molecular Biology Laboratory known for in research?

The fields where it stands highest, over all time, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.

Each strip is that field’s whole ranked pool, with the notch where European Molecular Biology Laboratory sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no world mark, because the world rate differs by field (from about 6% to 21% in this record).
