ESFRI initiative programm

serpico is involved in the ESFRI Euro-BioImaging (https://www.eurobioimaging.eu/) initiative, one of the four new biomedical science projects in the roadmap of the European Strategic Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). The mission of Euro-BioImaging is to provide access, service and training to state-of-the-art imaging technologies and foster the cooperation and networking at the national and European level including multidisciplinary scientists, industry, regional, national and European authorities. serpico is also involved in the French initiative, the so-called “France-BioImaging” (FBI) network which gathers several outstanding cellular imaging centers (microscopy, spectroscopy, probe engineering and signal processing) as described in Section 9.2.1.

Coordinator:  Turku University (J. Eriksson, Turku, Finland).

Funding: Member states of the European Union.

Partners: 15 European countries.

 

EIT Digital program

Participants: Sylvain Prigent, Charles Kervrann.

Duration: 12 months (Nov 2019 – Oct 2020).

serpico is involved in a European project which aims at developing a connected wearable device for diagnosis and treatment of photodermatoses. Using the data on skin sun sensitivity and UV exposure habits with machine learning algorithms will enable to make more precise optimal sun exposure predictions for patients. The wearable device will be useful for a larger population to increase awareness around overexposure to UV as a main cause of sun damage and worst-case skin cancer.

Funding: EIT Digital.

Inria coordinator:  C. Kervrann.

Partners: UVisio and Nobleo Projects B.V., Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
