EMIM 2013 in Torino, Italy

Welcome by the former ESMI president Silvio Aime

Dear Participants, Colleagues, Dear Friends,

on behalf of the European Society for Molecular Imaging it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Torino, Italy for the society’s 8th annual meeting: the European Molecular Imaging Meeting. read more

ESMI Award 2013

The ESMI Award 2013 was presented to Kevin Brindle from Cambridge. Thank you very much for your excellent science, contribution, your commitment, your visions, and your passion...

ESMI YIA 2013

The ESMI Young Investigator Award 2013 was presented to

Aurélien Godinat from Lausanne for his work on "A Biocompatible In Vivo Ligation Reaction and its Application for Non-Invasive Bioluminescent Imaging of Protease Activity in Living Mice" read the abstract

80 young investigators applied for the ESMI Young Investigator Award 2013; 29 were shortlisted and their talks evaluated within the respective Parallel Sessions. The evaluation criterias were: the pre-score given by the reviewers, the scientific quality of the talk, innovation of work, quality of presentation, and the ability to answer requests. Within the Closing Ceremony on Tuesday 28 May 2013 the three best evaluated Young Investigator Award applicants presented their talks.

The further YIA finalists:

Marianne Mertens from Aachen on "Imaging of tissue-engineered vascular grafts" abstract

Katrien Vandoorne from Rehovot/Eindhoven on "Chronic Akt1 deficiency attenuates adverse remodeling and enhances angiogenesis after myocardial infarction" abstract
