Welcome to the National Biophotonics and Imaging Platform Ireland website
NBIP Ireland was established in 2007 under HEA PRTLI Cycle 4. The platform consists of a consortium of imaging and biophotonics laboratories from across the Universities and Institutes of Technology in Ireland and 3 EU partners; CNRS Montpellier (France), the CNR Institute of Biostructure and Bioimaging, Naples (Italy) and The Nordic Imaging Network.
To provide a structured research and training framework for Ireland's investment in advanced imaging applied to the Life Sciences
To catalyze and support internationally competitive research grant applications
To develop and support Post-graduate Training Programmes underpinned by biophotonics and imaging
To bridge the Physical and Life Sciences interface
To provide a National Access for Core Facilities in Molecular, Cellular, Small Animal and Human Research Imaging
To provide the administrative and scientific infrastructure for Ireland's participation in large-scale international research programmes
In 2008, NBIP Ireland was awarded EU funding to support the establishment of a European-wide post-doctoral Career Enhancement and Mobility Programme (CEMP). The FP7 Marie-Curie COFUND enables 16 post doctoral researchers to collaborate with research organisations in the public and private sectors across Europe.
NBIP Ireland has agreed a Memorandum of Understanding with its EU partners to compete for FP7 collaborative research programme funding.
NBIP Ireland is the national representative for Ireland's participation in the ESFRI Euro-BioImaging Project.
