Motivation

The ISIC in Biomedical Imaging has been created to encourage the synergies among the research fields in which its groups are worldwide renowned: Nanomaterials, ultrasounds, laser technology, gamma rays, optical spectroscopy, photonics, optical fibers, quantum information and electronic microscopy.

The goals of the ISIC in Biomedical Imaging are:

1. Promotion of cooperative research focused on the development of novel techniques and instrumentation for cancer detection and treatment in biomedicine.

2. Knowledge transfer to hi-tech companies by means of patents and the promotion of spin-off companies.

3. Training of young scientists in novel biomedical imaging techniques taking advantage of the participation of the members of the ISIC in masters and PhD studenthips.
