AIM-Net - AI-Assisted Multiscale Imaging Network for Cellular and Molecular Processes

AIM-Net (AI-Assisted Multiscale Imaging Network for Cellular and Molecular Processes) is a national research network that brings together leading Spanish groups at the intersection of microscopy, quantitative biology, and artificial intelligence.

The network addresses a central challenge in modern bioimaging: combining information across scales (from molecules to tissues) and across imaging modalities to improve interpretation, modeling, and biological discovery.

The Computer Vision and Pattern Discovery (CVPD) group at UPV/EHU participates in AIM-Net through its expertise in bioimage analysis, computer vision, and deep learning.


🔬 Scientific Scope

  • Integrate multiscale imaging data using AI-assisted analysis pipelines.
  • Foster collaboration between experimental and computational groups.
  • Strengthen national capacity in AI-driven bioimage analysis.
  • Promote open science, training, and community-building activities.
