The Executive Board of France-BioImaging has decided to support the following events:
The Preparatory Phase of EuBI, (a pan‐European research infrastructure project on ESFRI Roadmap) lasted from Dec 2010 to May 2014. Euro-BioImaging entered now the Interim Phase, with representatives of 12 countries and EMBL (as an international organization) working together towards the future implementation of the infrastructure. France with Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, Israel, Italy, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and EMBL is one of the signatories constituting the Euro-BioImaging Interim Board that governs the Interim Phase prior to operation.
FBI, part of the Game. In this phase, France-BioImaging represents the French Task force. In agreement with the Ministry (MESR) and the CNRS, FBI supports the French Financial Participation to this Interim Phase and participates to the Interim Board. Tasks of the Interim Board are to decide on the legal model and governance structure, finance plan and user access policy. IB will be also directly involved in the definition of criteria for the future Euro-BioImaging Hub, its choice and its missions.

The European BioIMage Analysis Symposium (2nd Edition) aims at enhancing the usage of analysis tools and to increase the communication within the image analysis community. Developers from various software packages and libraries are invited for presenting their recent activities and Image analysts and biologists will then be updated with the latest scene of the tool development, and at the same time are expected to provide feedback and to get in direct contact with the developers of the tools that they are using in everyday research. Moreover, we will discuss on the further development of image analysis community.

The development of a conference on Quantitative Bioimaging (3rd Edition) followed from the recognition that there is no conference to date that addresses the analysis of bioimaging data in a focused and interdisciplinary manner. Therefore the emphasis of our single track conference will be the presentation and detailed discussion of methodological advances. We hope to have many of the major researchers in quantitative imaging represented at the conference. We plan to have a very interactive meeting with the opportunity for significant scientific exchange between the participants. We hope to attract contributors with differing backgrounds in biology, chemistry, physics and engineering.
We will introduce several interesting features into the conference: Oral presentations will focus around introductory and survey presentations on topics of importance and will be followed by topical “plenary” poster sessions. In addition, we will also have a session and roundtable discussion on the development and maintenance of software in a laboratory environment.
Stefan Hell, Eric Betzig and William Moerner have been honored with the highest scientific award, the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2014, for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. Stefan Hell developed principles of Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy while William Moerner and Eric Betzig laid the foundation for single molecule microscopy. Both methods allow scientists to visualize individual molecules in cells on nanometer range, a resolution that was until recently considered unreachable. Nobel Lectures will be held on Monday 8 December 2014, at the Aula Magna, Stockholm University. It was a rare honor and a real pride for the organizers of the CNRS summer school MiFoBio2014, one a the major training/teaching event of the GDR MIV and France-BioImaging community, to have welcomed among its distinguished speakers Eric Betzig who was awarded the day after his conference ! Next Focus on Microscopy conference meeting will be held in Gottingen, Stefan Hell’s city! Do not miss the registration date.
Workshop on Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Neurobiology, Physiology, Chemistry or Chemical Biology & Image Processing and Data Management
Website, program and registration
The strength of this meeting lies in the mixture of scientific lectures on state-of-the-art, high-end microscopy combined with “hands-on” workshops and exhibition of the latest technology, organized by the leading companies in the field. This year we will maintain the format and focus on leading edge developments and its implementation to life science.
For fifteen years, biological imaging has changed deeply thanks to the work of a large interdisciplinary community (physicists, chemists, biologists, instrumentalists, computer scientists, mathematicians and physicians) who is both a carrier of basic research the interface between photon / living matter and creator of new analytical tools, engaging biological questions. Developments in imaging are increasingly limiting and quick, minimally invasive and adaptable to the molecular study in living organisms. They require tu ensure recursively knowledge transfer within the community, to educate the younger generation to this interface in the plurality of its components, while promoting the integration of new skills, especially in the domain analysis, data management and modeling. Those are the aims of the school “MiFoBio”
MiFoBio allows participants to not be limited to theoretical exchanges, but confrontations around instruments in real operating condition, on live samples of biological interest. This is a unique opportunity for training in the most advanced technologies
in functional microscopy. These workshops are designed to complete various imaging devices: microscopes super resolution multiphoton, small animal imaging, FLIM / FCS CARS .. provided by the industrial partners of the school or by research teams in the case of prototype systems. Several workshops computer are also introduced for the analysis and processing of data. The basic rule of the School is that industrial undertake to allow full autonomy to scientific systems available. Piloting workshops for academic and not by industrial is indeed a key to the success of these practices phases.
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that the second edition of the France-BioImaging Advanced Training (FBI-AT) took place on 9-13 December 2013 in Gif-sur-Yvette (Essonne).
Thanks to all participants!
an initiative of the GDR 2588 Microscopie et Imagerie du Vivant
9th -13th December 2013
The FBI-AT course alternates classes, small group courses, practical courses and trans-module training.

Saturday August 30th, 9h-12h – Palais des Congrès, Paris
Preliminary program – Registration until July 31st
France-BioImaging is the laureate, in the field of Biological Imaging, of a national initiative to support the access to innovative research to a wide scientific, medical and industrial community throughout France, Europe and beyond.
Full understanding of life processes relies on the development of new technologies enabling the multiscale observation and quantification of biological systems.
At the frontier between molecular and cell biology, biophysics and engineering, mathematics and bioinformatics, France-BioImaging gathers, in a coordinated infrastructure unique in France, several outstanding cellular imaging centers supported by laboratories for state-of the art R&D with the aim to give faster access to advanced imaging techniques and methods to a wide scientific community and to participate to socio-economical development through industrial partnerships and innovations.
This meeting is intended for the whole community of researchers (research fellows, engineers, PhD candidates, students) to illustrate how to answer diverse biological questions using innovative imaging solutions.
Admission is open to participants of the main FEBS EMBO conference but restricted to the first 120 registered persons. Please register here before July 31st (free of charge).
The Executive Board of France-BioImaging has decided to support the following events:
The 2014 ELMI meeting will be following the proven successful format of research talks, company workshops and exhibition.

ELMI was first set up in 2001 in order to promote the quickly developing field of light microscopy as a fundamental research tool for the life sciences and to strengthen the channels of communication between researchers and industry. The annual ELMI meeting, which has been running for the last 12 years at various venues across Europe, has an excellent reputation within the microscopy community, making this meeting a key event in the calendar of hundreds of scientists and developers.
The strength of this meeting lies in the mixture of scientific lectures on state-of-the-art, high-end microscopy combined with “hands-on” workshops and exhibition of the latest technology, organized by the leading companies in the field. This year we will maintain the format and focus on leading edge developments and its implementation to life science.
