Imaging biomarkers have the potential to improve pre-clinical and clinical interventions. However, translational challenges in biomarker measurements make it difficult to bridge results from the pre-clinical to clinical setting (and back). Standardization across the imaging community is needed to ensure equivalent protocols, biomarkers, data analysis and image interpretation.

State-of-the-art imaging techniques and their cross-modal applications, when validated properly, can significantly influence pre-clinical and clinical developments and contribute to an overall improvement of therapeutic interventions & safety for individual patients.

The Translational Biomedical Imaging (TraBI) conference aimed at leveraging the potential of available imaging techniques in order to improve the translatability of findings from animals to humans by validating imaging procedures as biomarkers. It took place from 26^th to 27^th November 2018 at the Science Center Schloss Reisensburg in Günzburg.

Thanks to all the participants & sponsors for this inspiring conference!
