In this interview, Alexandre Bénéchet, head of the In Vivo Imaging Facility (IVIF) at the Faculty of Biology and Medicine (FBM), explains how cutting-edge imaging techniques allow researchers to observe biological processes directly within living organisms.
By combining MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, two-photon microscopy, and optical imaging, the platform enables longitudinal studies that reduce animal use, refine experimental procedures, and deliver more precise, context-rich data.
Alexandre highlights how IVIF supports a wide range of research projects while promoting ethical and innovative approaches, making it a unique resource in Switzerland.
