The Future of Bioimaging
The Future of Bioimaging
The last few years have seen extraordinary advances in methods for imaging biological systems, allowing us to see in greater detail than ever before the biological world around us, from microbial communities down to the protein machines that drive DNA replication. Obtaining a truly comprehensive understanding of biological systems, however, is challenging, because they can be hierarchical, with ordered structure across many length scales, as well as dynamic, changing in both shape and composition as a function of time. Therefore, bioimaging requires a new type of effort: the integration of different characterization technologies that work at different resolutions and for different types of sample environments.

In this forum, we will discuss new hybrid methods approaches that are just beginning to enable an understanding of complex, hierarchical systems. The forum is meant to foster collaboration and serve as a starting point for discussions on future integrated modalities, and will be followed up with a workshop at the ALS Users Meeting.
