i2i Workshop 2023

Meeting program, talk recordings, and poster PDFs.

More than 220 imaging experts came to NYU Langone in October 2023 to contemplate the nature and the future of imaging at the third edition of the i2i Workshop.

The meeting brought together visionary speakers who work at the cutting edge of biomedical imaging research to share their insights and lead a dialogue about where the field is headed.
