iSEA: A New Regional Network Empowering Bioimaging Scientists
Like other bioimaging networks and infrastructures around the world, iSEA aims to enhance access to advanced imaging technologies and expertise, bridge research infrastructure gaps, and drive higher-quality imaging, more reproducible data, and faster scientific discoveries.
Southeast Asia's unique geographical challenges, including its many islands, multitude of languages, remote locations, and varying levels of imaging expertise across the scattered imaging infrastructures, highlight the need for a strong community.
With this in mind, Teng Leong Chew, Director for the Advanced Imaging Center at HHMI Janelia, Satoshi Ogawa, Associate Professor at Monash University Malaysia, and Graham Wright, Director of the Research Support Centre at Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), joined forces. Along with the support of their colleagues and regional partners, they laid the foundation for iSEA, culminating in its recent launch.
