Center for Advanced Bioimaging

Welcome to CAB!

The Center for Advanced Bioimaging (CAB) Denmark is a core facility at the University of Copenhagen and offers an instrument park unique in Denmark. PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, scientific staff and external users may get access to advanced microscopes after expert training by the CAB team.

CAB offers PhD and MSc courses on theory and with hands-on of the imaging techniques available at this and other imaging facilities.

The next PhD course is Biological Imaging, a toolbox course, that introduces all important modalities of advanced biological and biomedical imaging using electromagnetic and other radiation sources. The course runs from 23th April to 21st May 2025

After the basic module, there are three optional advanced modules: Mass Spectrometric Imaging, IR & Raman Imaging, X-Ray & Neutron Imaging

We hope to see many PhD students at the course!
