Advanced Multiscale Biological Imaging using European Infrastructures

Objective

The AMBER consortium has been assembled for the exploitation and development of large-scale European infrastructures to address key needs for biological imaging. This covers length scales from molecular, through cellular, to tissue, organ and organism levels of organisation. AMBER brings together four research centres and three large scale research infrastructures with a wide range of competence including clinical practitioners, biological and biomedical scientists, physical scientists, and facility/infrastructure experts. We exploit an ongoing convergence in the scientific landscape in terms of European central facility development, data management, and data analysis and interpretation, coupled with the explosive growth in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches. It is hard to imagine a time for which there has been a bigger need to bring together communities from different fields in an adaptive and progressive way. In addition to the gaps of knowledge that exist between different levels of organisation (e.g. between molecular and cellular levels), there are also major gaps in scientific culture – for example between clinical and fundamental science. AMBER will create fellows with unprecedented medical, biological, and methodological capabilities, with a profound potential impact for Europe’s next generation of research and researchers. This 5-year programme will recruit 42 post-doctoral research fellows, in three calls of 14 fellows each, with each fellowship of 36-month duration. Work will include technique development, particularly in terms of combining imaging techniques and data to provide a more integrated picture of life processes in the context of health & disease. Fellows that have completed this programme will be extraordinarily well equipped to further their career in academia, at infrastructures, in the health and MedTech sectors, and beyond.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
