Hermann Bujard (Director 2007 2010)
Frank Gannon (Director 1994 2007)
John Tooze (Director 1973 1994)

Paul Nurse (Secretary General) and is a founding member of the Initiative for Science in Europe. as of 2022 the Director of EMBO is Fiona Watt, a stem cell researcher, professor at King's College London and a group leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory.

The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) was launched in July 1964 after a group of European biologists had discussed the idea earlier at a meeting in Ravello. At the Ravello meeting, Max Perutz was elected as the first EMBO chairman and John Kendrew as secretary general. Since 1964, scientists have been elected annually as members of EMBO based on excellence in research. As of 2018, the EMBC has 30 member states, two associate member states (India, Singapore) and two co operation partners (Chile (CONICYT), Taiwan (MOST and Academia Sinica)). In 1982, the EMBO Journal was launched, in 1986, the EMBO Gold Medal, an annual award for young scientists, was established. The "Young Investigator Program" which awards grants to young professors was established in 2000 and four additional journals were launched in 2000 (EMBO Reports), 2005 (Molecular Systems Biology), 2008 (EMBO Molecular Medicine) and 2019 (Life Science Alliance). Life Science Alliance is co published with Rockefeller University Press and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. In 2022, Fiona Watt was appointed sixth director of EMBO succeeding the previous EMBO Directors Raymond Appleyard, John Tooze, Frank Gannon, Hermann Bujard and Maria Leptin. In 2011, EMBO established a Policy Programme which interacts with policymakers and provides analysis of concerns emerging from advances in scientific research. Closely affiliated organisations to EMBO include the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), and The Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) which like EMBO, primarily operate in the European Research Area (ERA).
