bioimagingissa

Bioimagingissa is an international consortium and research community dedicated to advancing bioimaging—the capture and interpretation of biological information through imaging technologies. The term denotes both the field and the coordinating body that brings together researchers across biology, medicine, physics, computer science, and engineering. It covers optical modalities such as fluorescence and confocal microscopy, super-resolution techniques, and in vivo imaging; as well as non-optical modalities including magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and electron microscopy, together with associated computational methods for reconstruction, segmentation, quantification, and machine learning analysis.

Activities and governance

The consortium coordinates standards for data formats, metadata, and reproducibility. It hosts regular conferences, summer schools, and working groups; publishes guidelines; maintains a resource portal; funds collaborative projects and training grants; and fosters open data and code sharing.

Impact and scope

It supports researchers worldwide; links basic discovery with translational and clinical research; influences industry by establishing benchmarks; contributes to education by creating curricula and tutorials; promotes ethical considerations and best practices.
