Benefits of the membership for Hungary

  • Research results increase our understanding of various diseases, from diagnosis to treatment, improving the general health of the population.
  • Gives access for the Hungarian research community to laboratories equipped with the most advanced technologies.
  • The portfolio of services provided to pharmaceutical development and biotech companies is extended with new bioimaging technologies introduced based on the experience gained in foreign “Node” status institutions, which increases the R&D performance and the efficiency of companies.
  • From 2018, Hungary connects to the international infrastructure through the Cellular Imaging Hungary consortium, which comprises several Hungarian “Node” status institutions.
