Ranging from super-resolution methods like STED, to tissue-oriented methods like Lightsheet and Multi-photon, Huygens is best known for its deconvolution options, which can dramatically improve the image quality. Its analysis module can do object analysis, colocalization and track objects in time. All of which can be automated, making it ideal for high-throughput application. SVI’s consultancy services synergize with its products to help customers reach the best image quality and quantitative output. SVI offers job opportunities to (molecular) biologists, biophysicists and science and business students who are interested in a technical and commercial consultant role.

ZonMw: the connecting force behind innovation in health, healthcare and well-being Working with knowledge to boost good health for all. This goal defines everything we do. And we have been committed to it for decades. Innovation in health, healthcare and well-being concerns healthy living, disease prevention, new treatments and drugs, and the right care at the right place. Our health is also increasingly interwoven with broader societal challenges. Meeting those challenges requires knowledge and scientific research across the full breadth of the knowledge chain, from fundamental research to implementation projects. That requires close collaboration across disciplines and making available project data and results accessible. Connecting force that drives innovation We work closely with a wide range of stakeholders: researchers, healthcare providers, care professionals, care support staff, policymakers, clients, citizens and experiential experts. In doing so, we focus on three core activities: We programme and fund research and innovation in health, healthcare and well-being – we determine which knowledge and activities are needed, design a programme for these and fund the development of that knowledge. We encourage impact – we inspire innovation and take the lead in the field of implementation. We help to implement knowledge in practice to ensure that the outcomes of programmes and projects are actually used. We identify knowledge needs – our position enables us to identify areas where there is a need for more knowledge. Together with researchers, contractors, professional practitioners, educational organisations and citizens, we draw attention to these knowledge needs. The outcome: together, we ensure that knowledge has a greater impact in improving health and well-being for all. We always do this with our core values in mind: meticulous, accessible, proactive and, of course, connecting. Because we can only contribute to a world in which good health is available for all if we work together. Our contractors Our main contractors are the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport and the Dutch Research Council.
