FRANCE
Node Candidate Name: French BioImaging Node
The France BioImaging Node Candidate is at the crossroads between molecular and cell biology, integrated physiology, biophysics and engineering, mathematics and informatics. This unique coordinated infrastructure in the European landscape gathers several large facilities and R&D laboratories specializing in imaging in 5 National Geographic locations and one transversal Node Candidate in bioimage informatics. FBI aims at creating the most efficient adoption of the latest advances in technologies and methods related to microscopy, by the users of the imaging facilities. R&D labs agree to open their technologies and expertise to the European community either by hosting users on their own site or after technological transfer to the FBI core facilities. These technologies and methods, reinforced by a strong support in computational analysis, provide quantitative measures and integrative understanding of a wide range of cell and tissue activities in biological models, from the simplest organism, to small animals in normal and pathological situations.
