IBILI – Institute of Biomedical Research
in Light and Image is a
research Institution of the Faculty of Medicine – University of
Coimbra and relies on
excellent clinical and laboratory facilities as well as on a highly skilled and
multidisciplinary scientific staff. IBILI is an internationally
recognized centre of excellence for research in health sciences. Particular
strengths include research in Vision Sciences. IBILI is evaluated regularly by
an independent panel from “Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia” (FCT) and has
been judged as “Excellent” in 1999, 2004 and 2008 evaluations. IBILI
fosters an environment for research, education and training that promotes a
multi-disciplinary approach to health sciences, crossing traditional boundaries
between Medicine, Biology and Engineering. Integration between basic and
clinical research is essential for the advance of modern health sciences and
IBILI commits a major effort to support such integrated research programmes. As
a research unit of the Faculty of Medicine, IBILI is also strongly committed to
continuously promote and foster the highest possible standards in postgraduate
teaching. IBILI coordinates a PhD Programme in
Ageing and Degeneration of Complex Biological Systems, Master Courses in Vision
Sciences and Biomedical Engineering and collaborates in two international PhD
programmes: PhD Program in Vision Sciences (together with Universities of
Valladolid, Murcia and Madrid, Spain) and PhD Program in Experimental Biology
and Biomedicine (together with CNC).To focus its scientific activities and
promote translational research, IBILI has selected three main research
programmes for its sustained scientific development: Retino-cortical processing in health and disease (RP1), Phenotypes to genotypes of ageing and degenerative diseases (RP2) and Tools for clinical imaging and new methods for drug delivery (RP3). | | Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra (H.U.C.), in Coimbra, Portugal
