CZI is funding the development of new correlative imaging approaches

The EMBL Imaging Centre (IC) is excited to coordinate two groundbreaking projects funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), aimed at transforming biological imaging. Liz Duke’s group at EMBL Hamburg, Alevaro Crevenna’s team at EMBL Rome, as well the Mahamid and Mattei groups at EMBL Heidelberg supported by Anna Kreshuk’s and Christian Tischer’s team will ultimately enhance our ability to study life at multiple scales, from entire tissues down to individual macromolecules, by integrating advanced imaging techniques such as 3D X-ray tomography with spatial transcriptomics and pioneering new cryo-electron microscopy approaches.

For us at the IC, this is more than just technological advancement. It’s about empowering researchers with the best tools to tackle complex biological questions. By contributing to the development of innovative imaging workflows and improving accessibility, we are not only aiming at shaping the future of imaging but also strengthening collaborations within EMBL, with the research community and across disciplines. These projects will help scientists gain deeper insights into health and disease, advancing fields such as precision medicine, structural biology, and cellular research.

We are proud to be part of those exciting projects, working closely with our colleagues across EMBL and beyond to push the boundaries of what is possible in imaging science. Through these initiatives, we continue our mission of making cutting-edge imaging technologies available to the scientific community, driving discoveries that will shape the future of life sciences.

We are very grateful to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for supporting us in this endeavour. Jan Ellenberg, Head of the EMBL Imaging Centre, commented: “These awards will hopefully be the basis of a long-term collaboration between the EMBL IC and the new Chan Zuckerberg Institute for Advanced Biological Imaging in the context of imaging technology development and early open access services for the scientific community.”
