BioImagingUK

From BioImagingUKWiki

Welcome

BioImagingUK is an organic organization of UK scientists that develop, use, or administer imaging solutions for life sciences research.

BioImagingUK participates in Euro-BioImaging, and seeks to represent the views of UK scientists that use imaging to Euro-BioImaging and the wider community. This Wiki serves as our central point of collaboration.

Aims & Activities

1. To develop and exploit new imaging technologies– driving development of and access to state-of-the-art imaging instrumentation.
2. To devise and help implement mechanisms to enable shared access to the general and specialized expertise based in life sciences imaging laboratories and facilities throughout the UK.
3. To engage our departments, universities, and funding bodies to develop career models for the personnel that develop, maintain, and enable advanced imaging technology for the life sciences.
4. To define new training programmes, to provide the foundation for the next advances in life sciences imaging within the UK.
5. To work inclusively to define short and long-term strategy statements to our research funding bodies, in order to help articulate funding requirements and priorities.

We hold Meetings to discuss our priorities, activities, and strategies

• Meeting Summary: Final Working Group Docs & Imaging Facility Best Practice, Imperial College, June 3, 2010

We are preparing a series of Strategy Documents, defined by a series of BioImagingUK Working Groups.

Join us

The initial meeting of BioImagingUK was at the University of Manchester, Aug 25, 2009 where we defined our goals and future activities.

We are compiling a list of all UK microscopy and imaging facilities. Contact Joanne Marrison if you want add your facility to this list.
