Organization

LBIC is an infrastructure within the Medical Faculty at Lund University, positioned directly under the Faculty Board. The Centre is under the leadership of the Director and co-director and is led and coordinated by the Steering Committee.  

LBIC is made up of six technology facilities, each managed by a facility responsible person acting as coordinator of the activity.

  • Microscopy: Lina Gefors
  • Preclinical Nuclear Medicine: Rita Gidlöf
  • Preclinical 9.4 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Michael Gottschalk
  • Clinical 1.5/3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Pia Sundgren
  • National 7 Tesla Facility: Karin Markenroth Bloch
  • Analysis and Visualization: Jonas Ahlstedt

Steering Committee

LBIC is led and coordinated by a steering committee, with competences reflecting the equipment and bioimaging techniques represented by each platform.

Research Boards

All proposed projects are evaluated by a Research Board, with respect to possibility to perform the intended experiments successfully, given the equipment available at LBIC. At the moment, there are three research boards connected to LBIC:
