This project aims to strengthen the key in vivo imaging technologies and upgrade the multimodality imaging platform of the newly established Finnish Biomedical Imaging Node (FiBI), which has recently been accepted as part of pan-European Euro-BioImaging consortium providing open access to high-end imaging technologies to researchers from both academia and industry. These technologies have become a major cornerstone in biomedical research and modern drug development. The project also aims to improve digital laboratory documentation and data handling, ensuring data integrity, transparency, accessibility, and privacy-preserving reuse of image data. Altogether this project enables transformative discoveries in the field of biomedicine, e.g. brain, cancer, and virus research and promotes scientific research on large datasets that has potential to revolutionize health care. Importantly, the project will serve the private sector in R&D and commercialization of the most viable applications.
