The three national infrastructures ProFi, France-BioImaging and FRISBI along with the GIS IBiSA are pleased to announce a call for a funded access to IBiSA-labelled facilities.
Our aim is to promote IBiSA facilities networking through interdisciplinary research projects.
Applications should request access to at least two different IBiSA facilities from two disciplines (structural biology, Biological imaging and proteomics). The call is open to any academic laboratory.
The amount of the financial support will be up to 5000 € per application to cover facility costs.
Applications should be submitted to: Call-IBISA-FBI-FRISBI-PROFI@i2bc.paris-saclay.fr
using the template document https://mycore.core-cloud.net/index.php/s/VNLU2jgfcP4o0NN
The deadline for this inter-infrastructure access call is 15 April 2022.
All submitted proposals will be peer-reviewed by independent experts and the final funding will be approved by a committee comprising 2 representatives from each infrastructure as well as representatives
from GIS IBISA. We advise the project PI to contact the chosen facilities in order to set-up the optimal experimental design.
The France-BioImaging LSFM workgroup is pleased to announce an INSERM workshop on Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy imaging technics.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: March 4, 2022
Understanding how development is coordinated in multiple tissues and gives rise to fully functional organs or whole organisms necessitates microscopy tools. Over the last decade numerous advances have been made in live-imaging, enabling high resolution imaging of whole organisms at cellular resolution. Yet, these advances mainly rely on mounting the specimen in agarose or aqueous solutions, precluding imaging of organisms whose oxygen uptake depends on ventilation.
Engineers from the Institut Curie and Institut Jacques Monod implemented a multi-view multi-scale microscopy strategy based on confocal spinning disk microscopy, called Multi-View confocal microScopy (MuViScopy).
MuViScopy enables live-imaging of multiple organs with cellular resolution using sample rotation and confocal imaging without the need of sample embedding. They illustrated the capacity of MuViScopy by live-imaging Drosophila melanogaster pupal development throughout metamorphosis, highlighting how internal organs are formed and multiple organ development is coordinated. They foresee that MuViScopy will open the path to better understand developmental processes at the whole organism scale in living systems that require gas exchange by ventilation.

The MuViScope was co-funded by France-BioImaging.
The IGDR (Institut de Génétique et de Développement de Rennes) and MRic facilities in Rennes organize an EMBO practical course “Sensing biophysical properties in
living samples using light microscopy” from July 4th to July 9th 2022.

The thematic institute of molecular and structural basis of life sciences of the French National Alliance for Life Sciences and Health (Aviesan) has identified cellular (cryo) electron microscopy as a priority area to be developed in the future. To better understand the functional behaviour of living organism, it becomes increasingly important to describe its structural organization from atomic scales to integrated, multi-component biological systems. Recent developments in imaging have drastically transformed our perception of the molecular organization and of the dynamic interactions of molecules in cellular systems.
That is why, they are organizing a 2-days meeting entitled “Symposium on recent developments in cellular electron microscopy”, and dedicated to the latest progresses in the field of cellular electron microscopy at the interface with fluorescent microscopy and structural biology. The meeting is built around 4 scientific sessions, namely volumetric imaging, cryo-electron tomography, correlative light and electron microscopy, and new technological developments. The meeting is for molecular and cellular biologists to have an overview of the latest results and concepts that develop at this interface.
Due to the sanitary situation, vaccination pass and face masks are mandatory to attend the meeting.

The field of Life Sciences has undergone major developments over the past two decades. The change of scales, both in spatial and temporal resolution, and the integration of data from a wide variety of sources, as induced by the development of technologies, have revolutionized the exploration of life. These technologies call for expensive investments and specific know-how, carried out by highly qualified personnel, having led to the creation of common infrastructures such as research infrastructures (RIs) open to the entire scientific community.
The Institut des Sciences Biologiques (INSB) from Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) is launching a call for projects to fund full access to the national infrastructures in health and biology “INBS Access to national research infrastructures”. This call aims to encourage new teams to use the services offered by Research Infrastructures like France-BioImaging to help their research project. The objective is to demonstrate the significant impact of these services to improve the quality of their results (resolution, reproducibility, change of scale, etc.) or to help remove technological barriers.
Access to Research Infrastructures is open to the entire French and international scientific community, with costs covered by facility fee billing. The purpose of this program is to facilitate and finance access to these infrastructures in order to encourage teams who do not usually use the research infrastructures’ services to become RIs users, to validate the contribution that the infrastructures could make to their research topic, to remove barriers that impair the completion or finalization of an ongoing project.
As National Research Infrastructure, France-BioImaging is eligible and can host the applicant’s project on one of its facilities.
Several types of access can be supported by this call for projects:
In addition to the costs of access to infrastructure, travel/mission costs, as well as consumables that are not covered by the costs of access to infrastructure, may be covered.
The funding for each project will be in the range of 10 to 30 K€.
This is two-stage submission.
The first stage consists of a letter of intent, prepared by the scientific leader of the project, outlining the
project in which the application fits and highlighting the barriers that could be removed by access to IRs.
This letter of intent must also be signed by the director of the applicant’s unit. The identification of the
infrastructures to access is possible at this stage but not mandatory.
The deadline for submission of this letter is Friday 4th March 2022.
The second phase consists of a consultation between the INSB and the national Research Infrastructures. This will lead to putting the applicant in contact with the infrastructures that are able to meet the expressed needs, in order to evaluate the feasibility and to establish the budget of the final proposal. This stage will lead to the final submission of the project, signed by the heads of the involved IR(s), no later than Friday 8th April 2022.
France-BioImaging is launching a call to have up to two new Nodes joining the infrastructure.
In 2022, France-BioImaging gathers 21 biological imaging facilities and 54 R&D teams specialized in biological imaging (see https://france-bioimaging.org/). It is structured in 6 local Nodes (Bordeaux, Bretagne-Loire, Ile-de-France-Sud, Marseille, Montpellier, Paris) and one transversal Node dedicated to bioimage informatics (IPDM). France-BioImaging is also the French node of Euro-BioImaging ERIC (see https://www.eurobioimaging.eu/).
The objectives of France-BioImaging are to promote the dissemination of the latest advances in all technologies and methods related to biological imaging, and their adoption by the users of the facilities that constitute the infrastructure.
In order to expand its technology and expertise portfolio and to provide the best possible geographical coverage to life scientists across France, France-BioImaging invites node candidates to submit their letter of intent here before May 31st, 2022.
Node candidates should:
More information on the selection criteria, expected commitments and documentation that needs to be provided can be found here.
Node selection will be done via a two-step process:
Applications will be reviewed at both steps by an International Board and decisions will be communicated at the end of 2022.
If at any time of the application process you have questions, please feel free to contact the France-BioImaging coordination Team by sending an email to contact@france-bioimaging.org.
We are looking forward to receiving your letter of intent!
