Intravital Microscopy Australia

Live imaging across Australian science.

IMOz is a national community for researchers using intravital microscopy — the imaging of living tissues in real time — across immunology, cancer, neuroscience, and development.

Next event

2nd IMOz Symposium.

Two days of invited talks, flash presentations, vendor sessions, a poster session, and a community dinner.

Dates
17–18 August 2026
Venue
Bio21 Institute, The University of Melbourne

About IMOz

A community, not a service.

Intravital microscopy lets researchers watch biology as it happens — immune cells patrolling tissue, tumours evading treatment, neurons firing during behaviour. IMOz brings together the Australian labs doing this work.

We host a biennial symposium, share protocols and technical know-how, and provide a network for early-career researchers and PIs alike. Membership is free.

Six intravital microscopy images — vasculature, kidney tubules, immune infiltrate, tissue microenvironment, and more

What we do

Connect · Share · Advance

Three things IMOz exists to make easier for researchers using live-tissue imaging.

Connect

Find the labs across Australia running intravital experiments — people you can email, visit, or collaborate with.

Share

Protocols, reagents, image-analysis pipelines, and the honest technical detail that rarely makes it into a paper.

Advance

A biennial symposium, awards for early-career researchers, and a forum for pushing what live imaging can reveal about biology.
