| 19 | +**AIM-Net** (*AI-Assisted Multiscale Imaging Network for Cellular and Molecular Processes*) is a national research network that brings together leading Spanish groups at the intersection of **microscopy**, **quantitative biology**, and **artificial intelligence**. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +The network addresses a central challenge in modern bioimaging: combining information across scales (from molecules to tissues) and across imaging modalities to improve interpretation, modeling, and biological discovery. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +The **Computer Vision and Pattern Discovery (CVPD)** group at **UPV/EHU** participates in AIM-Net through its expertise in **bioimage analysis**, **computer vision**, and **deep learning**. |
