All involved scientists in ENCITE are very pleased to announce that the end of the highly successful ENCITE project will be marked by a closing event presenting new technologies and methods in the field of imaging cell therapies and contrast agents.
The workshop has a strong focus on innovation, implementation, and sustainability of the project outcomes.

Highlights will be:
• Novel imaging technologies
• Novel imaging reporter probes
• Novel tools for cell labelling
• Pre-clinical validation
• Translation towards clinical applications

A Hot Topic Discussion and a fascinating foresight to the future will round up the Workshop

Key Note Speakers
- Prof. Jeff W. M. BulteJohn Hopkins Medicine, Institute for Cell Engineering, Baltimore/USA
- Eva Sykova, EU Center of Excellence, Institute of Experimental Medicine, Prague/CZ
- Mark H. Ellisman, National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research, San Diego/USA

Imaging plays a central role for tomorrow’s medicine
Key note lectures will present views on the impact of and results on future trends in molecular imaging and their relevance for clinical applications.

Target audience
Scientists in cell and molecular imaging and anyone interested in imaging-related fields, representatives of industry and European decision-making institutions, medical doctors and students are most welcome to attend the event and to interactively discuss hot topics.

The European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR) was established by the European Society of Radiology in 2006 as a non-profit limited liability company based in Vienna.
Our ambition is to bridge basic research to clinical research as well as to technological and pharmacologic development.
EIBIR functions as coordinator for research in the field of biomedical imaging and facilitates consortia as well as programme partnerships. Research projects have been successfully submitted within the 7th framework programme of the EU, for which EIBIR is in charge of coordination and project management (HAMAM, ENCITE, PEDDOSE.NET, Euro-BioImaging).
EIBIR has set itself the target to establish and support educational and exchange programmes for researchers as well as to organise workshops and meetings on relevant research subjects.
EIBIR is also active in the field of EU lobbying and aims to influence the content of future research programmes for the benefit of biomedical imaging through a fruitful dialogue with EU Institutions, thus reinforcing Europe’s position in cutting-edge research.
