These Partners have executed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to be able to share and display the content from the MicroscopyDB on their community websites. If your website serves a community of microscopy users/imaging scientists and you would like the ability to display any of the database content on your community website please review our MOU and contact us at contact@microscopydb.io.

Founding Members

MicroscopyDB was established in 2022 by the efforts of an initial steering committee of founding microscopy organizations listed below. The pilot was coordinated by BioImaging North America through an award from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

Steering Committee

The Steering Committee is made up of a representative from each of the founding member groups and a representative from each of the partners (community members who have executed the MicroscopyDB MOU) to help steer the pilot and make decisions around the site and database structure.
