🔬 Meet Maria (Maro) Iliopoulou! At the Champalimaud Foundation, Maro investigates dendritic cell progenitors in the bone marrow using confocal microscopy, linear unmixing and, more recently, light-sheet microscopy of cleared bone tissue. 🔎 www.fchampalimaud.org/research/gro... #PPBI

🔬 Last week, i3S PPBI trainers contributed to the first #FOCUS4R workshop, sharing expertise in electron microscopy, imaging flow cytometry, AFM, microCT, high-content & advanced light microscopy.

PPBI is expanding its Euro-BioImaging portfolio! The ABBE Platform at Champalimaud Foundation is now part of PPBI's access portfolio within Euro-BioImaging, bringing advanced light-sheet, super-resolution, high-throughput and live-cell imaging capabilities to the community 👉 ppbi.pt/wordpress/in...

Data exists. So why can’t we reuse it? 🤔Without context, descriptions, or clarity, “useful” data may not be useful at all. That’s the #FAIR data challenge: making data findable, understandable & reusable. 💬 Ever been stuck trying to reuse data? Follow along! @eurobioimaging.bsky.social

🔬 Bioimaging comes alive through science, technology and community. #SPAOM2026 is coming!! 👥 Join us for an exciting workshops edition meeting. 📨 Submit your abstract 15 September ⬇️ lnkd.in/eDCS9b6y ➡️ Register now and be part of SPAOM 2026: lnkd.in/esNuHsrw spaom2026.org

#ELMI2026 in Coimbra 🇵🇹 was fantastic! #EuroBioImaging was delighted to celebrate advances in light microscopy with the people who make them possible. Great to see our Nodes, Ambassadors, industry partners, friends & collaborators. Thanks @ppbioimaging.bsky.social for the excellent organisation!🌟

Imaging generates huge amounts of research data daily, but data alone isn't enough. Over time, it can lose context and reusability, even for its creators. Want to learn more? We are launching soon: "A FAIR Data Journey"! #FAIRdata #ResearchData @eurobioimaging.bsky.social
