UK partnership aims to revolutionise imaging for drug development
04 May 2021
Nine-partner project including Zepler Institute will develop imaging technologies âat unprecedented resolution and speedâ.
The collaboration is one of nine Prosperity Partnerships announced by the UK Government, to be funded by a total £75 million ($104 million) investment from business, academia and UK Research and Innovation's (UKRI) Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Professor Sumeet Mahajan, Professor in Molecular Biophotonics and Imaging at ZIPN, commented, âThis partnership will bring together technology developers and end-users to create transformative opportunities in quantitative imaging of 3D biological samples.
âNovel volume imaging technologies at unprecedented resolution and speed, augmented by machine learning, will bring about a step change in the pre-clinical testing of drug candidates for the pharmaceutical industry and for evaluating treatments.â
