About the Group

UCL BIIG is a UCL Imaging Science Technology Platform initiative which brings together user groups run by the LMCB (Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology), Division of Biosciences, IPLS (Institute for the Physics of Living Systems), UCL Cancer Domain and . The Interest Group aims to connect users and experts from different backgrounds who are interested in biological and biomedical image acquisition and analysis. UCL BIIG aims to share knowledge, expertise and foster discussion and collaborations around the topics of bioimaging and bioimage analysis in an informal setting.

Monthly hybrid meetings

We hold monthly hybrid meetings at the LMCB seminar room and on Zoom every second Friday of the month with talks at 12-1 pm, followed by refreshments. We host two speakers for short (15 min) and informal presentations each time, allowing plenty of time for discussion. We welcome work-in-progress presentations and highly encourage the participation of early-career researchers.
