Infrastructure

Flanders BioImaging ((FBI)/EBI)

Flanders Bioimaging (FBI) is an interuniversity consortium focused on advanced light microscopy and biomedical imaging, set up to integrate, optimize and coordinate the available infrastructure in Flanders. This consortium includes infrastructure for the study from the molecular scale, over small and large animal models to human biomedical imaging.

The main goal is to provide seamless access for international researchers through a link with the EuroBioImaging (EuBI) project, which received the status of European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) in 2019. Therefore, FBI provides advice on experimental design, practical organization (e.g., steel shipping), the use of new techniques, and user training in all aspects from data collection to analysis and interpretation.


EuBI is also part of the ESFRI cluster project of the European Science Cloud-Life (EOSC-Life), which aims to develop cloud-based computing tools and workflows for the processing of biomedical image data. FBI therefore strives for seamless workflows for the management of the data for the connected facilities in Flanders.
