Project Details
Photonics is crucial for maintaining and increasing the competitiveness of EU industry, and light-based instruments are fundamental for non-invasive diagnostics and treatment of diseases. Artificial intelligence has demonstrated its capability to classify and identify patterns in data, achieving reliability levels that are comparable to those of experienced physicians.
Title and Acronym
Improving BiomEdical diagnosis through LIGHT-based technologies and machine learning “BE-LIGHT”
Grant Agreement
101119924 – BE-LIGHT
Participants
Spain, Germany, Poland, France, Switzerland
Call ID
HORIZON–MSCA–2022–DN
Start Date
October 1, 2023
Project Coordinator
Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)
Duration
48 months
Budget (€)
2 525 220.00
Ultimate Goal
To fully develop the potentials of these technologies, BE-LIGHT will provide top level training to 11 Researchers in photonic technologies (multispectral imaging, eye-tracking, optical coherence tomography, multispectral optoacoustic tomography, super-resolution microscopy and optogenetics) that will be complemented with artificial intelligence, computational imaging and modeling. A close-to-the-clinic approach will allow them to advance the field of biomedicine, with the ultimate goal of improving the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of diseases in 3 main research areas: visual health, cardiovascular health and analysis of cells and tissues using super-resolution microscopy.
Interdisciplinary Consortium
BE-LIGHT brings together an interdisciplinary consortium of 7 top academic institutions, 3 internationally recognized hospitals and an ecosystem of 7 private companies with complementary know-how in photonics, microscopy, artificial intelligence, medical instruments and clinical research, to promote inter-sectoral synergies.
