The Bordeaux Bio-Imaging Institute (IBIO) is a federative structure supported by the Université de Bordeaux in partnership with the CNRS and the Bordeaux University Hospital. This project has created a technological infrastructure for the study of living organisms using in vivo imaging equipment. It was set up in 2011 to support imaging research projects by academic and industrial teams from Aquitaine and elsewhere, whether or not they specialize in imaging. It is the platform of the Bordeaux node of France Life Imaging (FLI). The platform enables financial, human, administrative and technical resources to be pooled for the benefit of common objectives. The platform’s coordinating team, supported by these supervisory bodies, is made up of a coordinator, a financial manager and expert engineers dedicated to the various equipment made available. This team is at the disposal of all those who request it for any information concerning the resources made available as well as the surrounding resources.
Key imaging expertise and know-how developed as part of FLI’s scientific activities
The node’s research activity is carried out through projects linked to the various work packages of the France Life Imaging infrastructure:
- MRI contrast agents,
- Radiotracers for molecular imaging
- biological markers;
- dynamic nuclear polarization;
- Image-guided HIFU and interventional imaging;
- Mathematical simulation and modeling
Know-how :
The imaging platform offers its services at various project levels. UMS imaging experts in the various imaging modalities can contribute to the writing of imaging procedures, the construction of models including the creation of ad hoc tools (polypeptide synthesis, cell culture, animal facilities, collaboration with other platforms at the University of Bordeaux and the CHU), the production of images, their processing and post-processing and biological analyses (immunohistology; immunocytology; biochemical assays).
