GDR Imabio Meeting - June 9-12, 2026 - ENS Paris-Saclay

The IERP is co-organizing the GDR ImaBio meetings from June 9 to 12, 2026, at ENS Paris-Saclay, with the aim of initiating or strengthening interdisciplinary exchanges on the topic of biological imaging—ranging from a single nano-object to the organismal scale—while reflecting recent developments and current challenges in microscopy techniques. This year, with the support of Quantum Saclay, special emphasis will be placed on the use of quantum technologies for imaging and sensors in biology.

GDR Imabio

The event will bring together physicists, biologists, engineers, and data specialists, and the conference will focus on four major scientific themes that highlight the technological barriers and current challenges in understanding the fundamental mechanisms of life: 

- From molecules to behaviour: multiscale and in vivo imaging of biological systems,

- Imaging deeper, imaging faster: pushing spatio-temporal limits,

- Quantitative imaging and single-object tracking in complex environments

- Nano- and quantum-enabled sensing technologies for biology

Among the workshops offered, one will focus on mesoSPIM, featuring a presentation by the teams from the IERP imaging platform on how it works and its specific features for light-sheet imaging of large, cell-scale transparent samples. 

Cross-cutting themes—including the development of new probes, multimodal and correlative imaging, computational analysis and artificial intelligence, the quantification and reproducibility of measurements, as well as the interactions between instrumental developments and biological questions—will shape all sessions and foster exchanges between communities.
