Italy


Italy - sites where Euro-BioImaging Nodes are hosted.

The Italian Republic, a founding member of Euro-BioImaging, is host to the Med-Hub and to four Nodes across the country: Advanced Light Microscopy Italian Node, Molecular Imaging Italian Node, Phase Contrast Imaging Flagship Node Trieste, and Digital Imaging Multimodal Platform Neuromed - DIMP NEUROMED. Learn more about the Nodes and get an overview of news and interactions with Italy below.
