2022 Expanding Global Access to Bioimaging Kickoff Meeting
CZI held a virtual kickoff meeting for the Imaging Program’s Expanding Global Access to Bioimaging Grantees. More than 80 participants from 20 countries included members of 17 project teams from Africa, Latin America, and former Soviet countries, CZI staff, and representatives of network organizations. Grantees introduced their projects, networked with one another, and discussed ways to work together to increase access to imaging expertise and technologies in their regions.
