In September 2023, the two largest bioimaging networks in Americas, Latin America Bioimaging (LABI) and BioImaging North (BINA), came together during a 1-week meeting Mexico. This provided opportunities for participants to interact closely with decision-makers from imaging core facilities across Americas. The was held hybrid format attended in-person by scientists including Canada, United States, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Brazil Uruguay. aims of were discuss progress achieved over past year, foster networking collaborative efforts among members both communities, bring key international community promote exchange experience expertise, engage industry partners, establish future directions within each individual network, as well common goals. report summarises discussions exchanged, achievements shared, goals set LABIxBINA2023: Americas meeting.
