Welcome to I3D:bio – a research data management resource for bioimaging with a focus on light microscopy

Looking for a resource to aid with…

  • learning and teaching about microscopy research data management?
  • organizing your microscopy research data?
  • storing, sharing and archiving your images?
  • linking your image data with experimental protocols and analysis results?
  • setting up microscopy reasearch data management at your institute or facility?

Check out these I3D:bio project pages and contact us for questions and support.

I3D:bio is developing the following resources, materials and services for the bioimaging community:

What’s new?

The I3D:bio team offers a new workshop, directed at teams from imaging facilities and IT departments to learn about a structured approach for implementing a new OMERO instance at a research institution or university.

On-premise on October 16th & 17th

Find more information and the registration here.

Based on the experience with use case partners from I3D:bio, we have published a review: A practical guide to bioimaging research data management in core facilities. Read the full publication in the Journal of Microscopy:
Schmidt, C., et al. (2024). Journal of Microscopy, 294, 350371. https://doi.org/10.1111/jmi.13317

The I3D:bio project has published a key deliverable: The I3D:bio training material as an open, reusable material for local user training by core facility staff and others.
