Project
The project CoDaFlight (Colouring the Dark in Fluorescence light) is the development of a next-generation imaging platform capable of revealing in real-time new and more accurate information related to a patient’s body and its diseases through an innovative time-domain fluorescence imaging (tdFLI) technology. The project started on October 1, 2022 and will run for a period of 4 years.
The project has received in 2022 funding from the HORIZON-EIC-2021-PATHFINDEROPEN program under number ID 101047263 and is the under management of the EISMEA office of the European Innovation Office.
The Consortium responsible for executing the project is:
- Universitätsmedizin Göttingen, Germany; Prof. Frauke Alves, Dr. Christian Dullin, Dr. Andrea Markus and Dr. Stefan Lesemann
- FORTH, Greece; Dr. Giannis Zacharakis, Dr. Vassilis Tsafas, Anna Tampakou and Dr. Emmanouil Vergis
- Université of Bourgogne, France; Prof. Franck Denat, Prof. Anthony Romieu, Dr. Christine Goze, Dr. Hassan Al Sabea and Elisa Chazeau
- Universitetet i Bergen, Norway; Prof. Emmet McCormack, Dr. Katrin Kleinmanns and Dr. Vibeke Fosse
- Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium; Prof. Maarten Kuijk (Project Coordinator) Dr. Hans Ingelberts, Prof. Sophie Hernot, Dr. Marc Stroet, Théo Lepoutte, Sevada Sahakian and Rik van Heijningen

- Interview Maarten KuijkProfessor Maarten Kuijk from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is coordinator of the CoDaFlight project. We have interviewed him about the importance of Fluorescence Lifetime, the reason why he has initiated the CoDaFlight project, and what his expectations are. Why is fluorescence lifetime important? Well, I think fluorescence lifetime is very interesting, first of all everybody knows most normal cameras with normal …
- Interview Christian DullinDr. Christian Dullin from Universitätsmedizin Göttingen is part of work packages 1,2 and 3 of the CoDaFlight project. In the project, Christian leads the user software development of the tdFLI instrument and the development of real-time algorithms for the analysis of the data. With other colleagues from Universitätsmedizin Göttingen, he focuses on the generation of validated proofs-of-concept on the use and advantages of tdFLI for different medical applications. Introduce yourself Hello …
