IPHYS Bioimaging Facility become a proud member of a multi-national team that has been awarded a significant grant under the Horizon Europe Framework Programme HORIZON-INFRA-2024-TECH-01: The next generation of scientific instrumentation, tools, methods, and advanced digital solutions for Research Infrastructures (RIs). This prestigious grant supports advancements in research infrastructure technology and innovation and will help the facility to extend its label-free potential between 2025 – 2027.
IPHYS Bioimaging Facility joins a consortium of 18 institutions from across Europe, reflecting a robust collaborative effort to enhance scientific capabilities in the field of preclinical in vitro modeling with the aim of reducing or replacing the experiments on living animals. The grant will support the consortium for three years, providing the necessary resources to develop cutting-edge bioimaging technologies and methodologies.
Dr. Daniel Hadraba, the head of IPHYS Bioimaging Facility, expressed his enthusiasm: “This grant is a testament to the collaborative spirit and innovative potential of our facility and partners. Together, we aim to improve the complex in-vitro models (CIVMs) and reduce, refine the use of animal models in biomedical research.”
The Horizon Europe grant focuses on fostering innovation in scientific instrumentation and digital solutions, ensuring that European research infrastructures remain at the forefront of global scientific research. The funding will facilitate the development of advanced imaging tools, data analysis methods, and integrated digital platforms, significantly impacting fields such as biomedical research, environmental science, and materials science.
As IPHYS Bioimaging Facility and its partners embark on this ambitious project, the scientific community anticipates groundbreaking advancements that will drive future research and technological innovation. The collaboration underscores the importance of international partnerships in addressing complex scientific challenges and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in bioimaging and related disciplines.
