CIB & Vision for Life at Innovation Days in Bioscience Imaging
The team of RNDr. Veronika Huntošová, PhD. had opportunity to join the international meeting of microscopists working in Bioscience Imaging during user-to-user meeting in Prague, Czech Republic.
One week in April (21st-23rd April 2026) belonged to celebration of Bioimaging innovations in Czech Republic and Slovakia. Over 70 speakers presented their results and updates from fundamental principles, applied methodologies in optical microscopy up to high-resolution quantitative imaging of cancer microenvironments and cryo-electron microscopy. We pushed the limits of light microscopy by STED nanoscopy for live cells, lifetime imaging FLIM, light-sheet microscopy beyond organoids and spheroids.
Center for Interdisciplinary Biosciences was introduced in this meeting by Dr. Huntošová in presentation: Bioimaging facility created to support Advanced Protein Biotechnology from Slovakia. This meeting resulted in creation new collaborations and fruitful scientific discussions.
Presented results were achieved during implementation of the project supported by EU NextGenerationEU through the Recovery and Resilience Plan for Slovakia under project number 09I03-03-V04-00007: Breast cancer organoid on a chip for fluorescence lifetime imaging of autophagy and apoptosis induced by targeted treatment with designed ankyrin repeat protein.
Within the presentation specific introduction was dedicated to APBC 09I02-03-V01-00021 project, an EU-funded (Recovery and Resilience Plan) research project led by UPJŠ to foster protein biotech innovation and mitigate brain drain in Eastern Slovakia. This project brings new infrastructure and basis for Bioimaging Facility at CIB, TIP-UPJŠ in Košice.
