Meet Irma Mahmutovic Persson - In Vivo Imaging Specialist at LBIC
In this edition of our Meet the Nodes interview series, we introduce Irma Mahmutovic Persson, staff researcher at the Lund BioImaging Centre (LBIC),…
Data is THE hot topic in imaging these days. That’s why we’ve planned a two-part Special Edition of the Virtual Pub to cover the topic of “DATA” in Biological & Biomedical Imaging. These events will each be 2-hours long and will feature short presentations from academics and industry showcasing a range of image data management and analysis solutions for Biological & Biomedical imaging.
From visualising large data sets, storing, managing, curating & sharing data and metadata – to image analysis tools and data repositories, there is something for everyone, so don’t miss out!
Mark your calendars
Part I will be held on Friday, July 8th, from 13:00-15:00 CEST. Part II will take place on Friday, September 9th, from 13:00-15:00 CEST. Plan to attend both events for a complete picture of what’s happening in the fast-paced image data field.
To make this Special Edition even more “special”, the audience will choose the best presentation at each event to be awarded a prize, sponsored by Euro-BioImaging.
So, please join us for both of these afternoons with great speakers and lots of exciting talks!
