Course description:

Language: English

The event “Imaging Horizons”, organized by the Center for Advanced Preclinical Imaging (CAPI) at the First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, aims to raise awareness of modern imaging methods and their importance for preclinical research. The goal is to present the wide range of technologies available at CAPI, including MRI, PET, CT, ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging, in vivo fluorescence, and magnetic particle imaging, and to demonstrate their practical applications in medicine and biomedicine.

The program combines a 2.5-hour block of expert lectures featuring real data from CAPI projects, followed by a networking session to foster collaboration between participants and experts. The lecture block will be streamed online to enable interactive engagement with a broader audience and increase the event’s reach. Another part of the program consists of guided tours of CAPI laboratories, organized in four sessions (two on the day of the lectures and two on a separate day close to the event date). Participants will be divided into small groups and will learn about measurement principles, sample preparation, instrument demonstrations, and typical data outputs.

The event targets advanced master’s students, PhD candidates, and early-career researchers from medicine, biomedicine, biology, physics, chemistry, and related disciplines. A unique feature of CAPI is its multimodal approach, in-house technology development, and integration into the European Euro-BioImaging infrastructure, which facilitates connections with the international scientific community and supports new collaborations.
