Assoc. prof. Krishna Agarwal has been interviewed by the Norwegian online newspaper Khrono.no after being granted 3.7 mEUR for her OrganVision project by the FET Open (Future and Emerging Technologies) program.
The project, OrganVision, is about developing a real-time high-resolution image processing technology that is suitable for research on organoids as well as creating – and exploiting – new opportunities for organoid research. As an example, researchers will now be able to see in real-time how individual cells in a lab-manufactured heart muscle work and better understand how stress and illness affect these cells.
This is the first time the UiT – The Arctic University of Norway is awarded such a prestigious grant, and therefore it is considered a huge success that will open extensive lines of collaborations with top-notch research groups worldwide.
