Summary
The European training network IMAGE-IN aims to contribute to the reduction of the worldwide mortality rate caused by infectious diseases by educating a new generation of leading experts in advanced imaging and data analysis methods that will help to better understand and fight infections. The network will provide cutting-edge insights into molecular imaging, multiscale visualization of infections and host response that can help to detect infection, determine its severity and characterize the cause of infection in a time efficient manner to enable personalized treatment. IMAGE-IN actively involves the non-academic sector (SMEs and hospitals) in a unique doctoral training to increase the employability of the IMAGE-IN researchers and to adapt their new skills to the needs of businesses and wider society. While molecular imaging is already common in the clinic, the five research projects target on how data from different imaging modalities can be combined for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of difficult-to-treat infections and ultimately, can lead to faster diagnostics. These domains play essential roles in understanding pathogenesis of infections but also expedite bench-to-bedside translation of new biophotonic and spectroscopic insights (e.g. for diagnostics or later for therapy).
The five projects' supervisors have proven track records of success in research and training and bring in perspectives from the public and the private sector. Trainee mobility within the network, in combination with dedication, strong affiliations and technology, creates a highly synergistic framework for success. This assures efficient transfer of excellent academic results to the industry and strengthens Europe's human capital base in R&I through a new generation of entrepreneurial and highly-skilled early career researchers.
