BioImagingUK supporting the UK Preclinical Imaging Network (UK-PIN)

BioImagingUK is pleased to support the nascent UK Preclinical Imaging Network (UK-PIN), an initiative which will bring together researchers, technical specialists, and facility managers involved in in vivo preclinical imaging across the UK.

The aim of UK-PIN is to build a connected and inclusive community that strengthens collaboration, supports training and development, and promotes shared access to imaging resources.

To help shape the network’s direction and identify national strengths, challenges, and opportunities, we invite you to complete a short survey: Complete the UK-PIN Survey. We have already received strong engagement, but we welcome wider input to ensure the network represents the whole UK community.

Please feel free to share the survey link with colleagues who may be interested in contributing or learning more about UK-PIN. We welcome anyone who wish to take a more active role in helping guide and develop the network.

If you have any questions about this, please contact Katie Dexter (University of Southampton) or Saimir Luli (University of Newcastle).

Note: If you are going to the UK Technology Specialists Network (TSN) meeting, Katie and Saimir are running a dedicated UK-PIN workshop on the morning of 29 April 2026 (time to be confirmed). This will be an opportunity to review early survey insights, contribute your views, and help shape the future direction of UK-PIN.
