Getting Started at LBIC

At LBIC, we provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art imaging technologies and expert support for basic and clinical research. Our staff scientists assist throughout the entire imaging workflow, from project planning and experimental design to sample preparation, image acquisition, data management, analysis and visualization.

We also offer training, workshops and seminars to help researchers develop their imaging skills and make the most of our technologies.

Whether you are planning a new project, looking for a specific imaging modality or exploring our research infrastructure, each platform page provides information about available instrumentation, services, user access and how to get started.

To discuss your project or gain access to our facilities, please contact the relevant platform representative.

| Preclinical In Vivo Imaging

The Preclinical In Vivo Imaging platform provides access to advanced multimodal imaging technologies, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). Together, these complementary techniques enable high-resolution anatomical, functional and molecular imaging of small animals and ex vivo tissues.

Supported by experienced staff, the platform offers expertise in a wide range of imaging applications, from study planning and image acquisition to advanced data analysis, helping researchers investigate biological processes and disease mechanisms in preclinical models.
