Descripción del proyecto
Red de formación en investigación sobre aplicaciones de la obtención de imágenes de tiempo de vida de fluorescencia en biomedicina
El equipo del proyecto flIMAGIN3D, financiado por las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, creará una red de formación en investigación sobre las aplicaciones biomédicas de la microscopía de imagen de tiempo de vida de fluorescencia (FLIM, por sus siglas en inglés) en tres dimensiones. El objetivo del proyecto es contratar a diez doctorandos para la creación de plataformas basadas en FLIM sólidas, fáciles de usar e innovadoras para una amplia gama de aplicaciones biomédicas. La red de formación abarcará los fundamentos teóricos esenciales de la FLIM y, a través de los proyectos individuales, abordará las brechas de conocimientos existente en las aplicaciones fotónicas en biología. Los investigadores noveles de flIMAGIN3D desarrollarán plataformas de FLIM capaces de proporcionar nueva información para comprender la biología en enfermedades, diferenciación, desarrollo e intervenciones a alta resolución.
Objetivo
In flIMAGIN3D, which centres on fluorescent lifetime imaging microscopy applied to biomedical platforms in 3D; ten talented Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will be recruited, trained and supervised to cohesively establish the most robust, user accessible and powerful FLIM-based platform-never achieved before, and apply it to a wide range of applications in the biological sciences.
flIMAGIN3D will generate ten DCs at the cutting edge of FLIM-based biological imaging who will spearhead, and go onto catalyse clusters of FLIM excellence across Europe; each intertwined within a collaborative network that will extend beyond the time-frame of the program. This doctoral network will train talented doctoral candidates in the essential theories underpinning FLIM , and through the individual projects and extensive secondments in this network; elevate their projects and skills, and that of their secondment hosts to research excellence in FLIM flIMAGIN3D addresses a significant knowledge gap in the field of photonics in biology by involving biomedical scientists in each and every aspect of development and design, and cognisant of the wide variety of current platforms that require adaptability to such modalities.
In flIMAGIN3D: bringing together representatives with different applications and backgrounds, we will identify and overcome barriers to FLIM imaging by developing the next generation of scientists who will develop a FLIM platform capable of extracting the greatest amount of information possible in a stream-lined, accurate and user-friendly manner in order to understand biology in disease, differentiation, development and interventions at a high resolution. To achieve this goal, the trained scientists will develop cheaper advanced hardware components, with user friendly software that can build precise libraries for accurate machine learning classifications and plug-and-play platforms and sensors to facilitate a wide range of applications.
