Successful User Forum on Fighting infectious diseases


Published October 26, 2022

On October 6th, Euro-BioImaging ERIC organized its fourth online User Forum. The topic was “Fighting infectious diseases.” The event highlighted the range of infectious disease research that can be served by high-tech imaging and expertise, from drug discovery to the biology of disease agents and immune response to infection. The event also served to inform the community about the funding opportunities available via the ISIDORe project. Altogether, 116 people attended this event from 26 countries. Many thanks to all the speakers and the attendees for making this event such a success.

An event for the infectious disease & imaging communities

Our audience was composed of researchers, core facility staff, Node staff, students, industry representatives and partners from other research infrastructures.  We were pleased to host a significant number of representatives from specialist infectious disease institutes, showcasing the relevance of imaging approaches for this community.

The event consisted of 6 great talks from the biological and biomedical imaging scientists. To get a feel for the different topics, please find links to the abstracts below.
