【About the Meeting】
The Advanced Bio-Imaging Support Platform (ABiS) offers cutting-edge imaging technology to researchers in Japan. As the need for biological imaging increases in life science research, individual universities and research institutions face challenges in maintaining and operating sophisticated imaging equipment due to technological advancements and rising costs. ABiS addresses this by providing access to state-of-the-art optical microscopes, electron microscopes, magnetic resonance devices, and other cutting-edge technologies through the National Institute for Physiological Sciences and the National Institute for Basic Biology. These institutes serve as core institutions, innovating technologies for application in the life sciences field and supporting research at universities. Partner organisations within Japan collaborate to operate special imaging equipment, forming a platform to support advanced imaging encompassing life sciences research. Researchers are encouraged to utilise the Advanced Bio-Imaging Support Platform for their research needs.Since 2018, ABiS is a member of GBI representing the Japanese bioimaging community.
