Establishment of the Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform (BioDIP)

Biopolis Dresden成像平台（BioDIP）是一个多机构网络，由9个核心光学和电子显微镜以及图像处理设施组成，位于Biopolis Dresden校园。它每年为550多名用户提供全面的成像技术以及BioDIP员工的深厚专业知识。BioDIP设施由隶属于三个不同研究组织的五个研究机构运营。主办机构是德累斯顿工业大学的生物技术中心（BIOTEC）， DFG中心和再生治疗卓越集群（CRTD）和医学理论中心（MTZ），以及赫姆霍兹协会内的马克斯普朗克分子细胞生物学和遗传学研究所（MPI-CBG）和德累斯顿德国神经退行性疾病中心（DZNE）。强烈建议BioDIP成为欧洲生物成像网络的一个节点，这是欧盟ESFRI路线图中的一项倡议。BioDIP的中心目标是成为德累斯顿工业大学成像技术的一个持久的中央服务和设备单位。此外，BioDIP将通过概念验证研究准备其作为EUBI节点的作用，将扩展其教学概念，并将支持建立所有科学家都可以使用的新成像技术。

The Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform (BioDIP) is a multi-institutional network of 9 core light and electron microscopy, as well as image processing facilities, on the Biopolis Dresden campus. It offers a comprehensive range of imaging technologies along with the profound expertise of BioDIP staff to more than 550 users per year. The BioDIP facilities are operated by five research institutions that belong to three different research organizations. The hosting institutions are the Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC), the DFG Center and Excellence Cluster for Regenerative Therapies (CRTD) and the Medical Theoretical Center (MTZ) at TU Dresden, and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) Dresden within the Helmholtz Association. BioDIP was highly recommended to become a node within the Euro-BioImaging network, an initiative within the ESFRI roadmap of the European Union. The central goal of BioDIP is to become a durable central service and device unit for imaging technologies at TU Dresden. Moreover, BioDIP will prepare its role as EUBI node by proof of concept studies, will extend its teaching concept and will support the establishment of new imaging technologies accessible to all scientists.
