Students in Bioimaging Working Group
Overview
The Students in Bioimaging Working Group aims to equip and support students in the African bioimaging community by fostering their professional development, building essential technical knowledge, and creating a collaborative peer network.
This working group is a volunteer-driven community of postgraduate researchers, academic staff, and students passionate about bioimaging who identify key development needs within the student community and create targeted initiatives to address them. The first such program is the Mentorship Pilot Programme.
