Driving innovation in BioImaging for over a decade
2015-present
Austrian BioImaging is a non-profit association dedicated to advancing bioimaging in Austria and beyond. With over 10 years of pioneer in the field, we connect a network of 20+ core facilities and research groups between eight Austrian universities and research institutions. We foster collaboration and innovation to develop cutting-edge imaging technologies and correlative multimodal imaging (CMI) pipelines.
Our mission is to provide open access to state-of-the-art biological and preclinical imaging technologies to researchers from academia, industry, and beyond — irrespective of institutional affiliation. We are committed to empowering scientists with the tools, expertise, and training they need to push the boundaries of discovery and tackle pressing societal challenges.

Why imaging matters?
Imaging technologies are at the heart of breakthrough research in biology, medicine, and translational science. These advanced tools enable researchers to visualize biological samples across scales and analyze their structure, molecular dynamics, and chemical composition with unparalleled precision. Whether it’s unlocking the secrets of molecular interactions or enabling transformative medical applications, imaging technologies are indispensable to modern science.
