MICROSCOPIA RESEARCH GROUP
Health Systems Engineering
A sustained scientific agenda, expert supervision and shared execution capacity.
Before you apply
All nationalities · English / Spanish
Active membership · Scientific selection · Capacity-dependent
Membership permits an application; it does not reserve a place, staff or authorship. The lead agrees supervision, roles and resources before work starts.
FIND THE RIGHT SCOPE
Turn your expertise into a defined contribution.
A group sustains an agenda and brings expertise together. A project has a question, defined tasks and outputs. An institutional agreement sets resources and responsibilities between organisations.
Contribute to a project
Check project tasks, language and dates. An external route exists only where the call explicitly permits it.
Explore projects →Collaborate through an institution
Propose a question or complementary capability. Methods, contributions, data, budget, intellectual property and output review are agreed.
Discuss a collaboration →An affiliated researcher does not automatically represent their institution. Membership does not grant authorship or automatic access to restricted data.
Jorge Racedo is a biomedical engineer, microscopIA founder and Chief Executive Officer. Based in Bogotá, Colombia, he develops research and technical-scientific infrastructure that connects clinical questions with geospatial analysis, health economics, epidemiology, data science and engineering. His work focuses on turning evidence about access, capacity and outcomes into practical options for service planning and health-system decisions.
Questions worth pursuing.
Access and capacity
Map services, travel times and areas for expansion.
Health economics
Evaluate resource use, outcomes and decision uncertainty.
System modernization
Turn population needs into service-planning evidence.
AI and technology innovation
Develop and evaluate models, prototypes and devices with documented validation and a defined intended use.

ICU capacity and geographic accessibility — Spain
Verify operational intensive-care facilities and relevant ICU subtypes, then evaluate population access through documented geographic and travel-time analysis. Regional teams use a harmonized protocol and country-specific sources.
Shared projectGeneral and Oncologic Critical Care →
Fetal Ultrasound Image Segmentation and Biometric Measurements
Develop and evaluate an artificial-intelligence workflow for fetal ultrasound image segmentation and biometric measurements, using a clinically curated dataset and a prespecified reference standard. The project will prioritize clinically meaningful validation rather than model accuracy alone: internal holdout testing, class-wise performance, calibration where applicable, subgroup performance, error analysis and transparent reporting will be incorporated into the final study design.
Global Health Economic Decision Thresholds and Monetary Net Benefit Framework
Reproduce, critically evaluate and extend country-specific health economic decision thresholds and monetary net-benefit methods for global health-system decision making. The project will test sensitivity to alternative health-expenditure definitions, life-expectancy modelling choices, temporal updating, macroeconomic assumptions and uncertainty; outputs will emphasize transparent limitations and appropriate use in resource-allocation decisions.
Ensayo clínico piloto de exposición lumínica controlada para prevención de la retinopatía del prematuro
Desarrollar y ejecutar el proyecto clínico «Ensayo clínico piloto de exposición lumínica controlada para prevención de la retinopatía del prematuro» con una pregunta PICO y desenlaces prespecificados, plan estadístico, criterios de seguridad y procedimientos de calidad bajo supervisión clínica senior. Toda actividad con participantes depende de las aprobaciones éticas, institucionales y regulatorias requeridas.
ROP workforce capacity and geographic access — Spain
Map active specialists and service sites that provide ROP screening, treatment or both. A five-person country team will verify service capacity and geographic coverage, adapting the Colombian study to the local health system.
ROP workforce capacity and geographic access — Canada
Map active specialists and service sites that provide ROP screening, treatment or both. A five-person country team will verify service capacity and geographic coverage, adapting the Colombian study to the local health system.
ROP workforce capacity and geographic access — United States
Map active specialists and service sites that provide ROP screening, treatment or both. A five-person country team will verify service capacity and geographic coverage, adapting the Colombian study to the local health system.
ROP workforce capacity and geographic access — Belize
Map active specialists and service sites that provide ROP screening, treatment or both. A five-person country team will verify service capacity and geographic coverage, adapting the Colombian study to the local health system.
Applications welcome throughout the year.
Active microscopIA members may apply. Students, early-career professionals, clinicians, engineers and experienced investigators contribute in roles matched to their preparation. Admission depends on scientific fit, supervision and available capacity.
Applicants of all nationalities are welcome. Working languages: English and Spanish.
The group leader reviews complete applications and normally responds by email within 10 calendar days.
Present your background
Submit your CV, interests, membership email and weekly availability.
Agree your contribution
The scientific lead reviews your application and proposed role.
Start with a clear brief
Confirm supervision, training, milestones and applicable permissions before research starts.
ACADEMIC PATHWAYS
Connect your academic goals with supervised research.
Credits, undergraduate/master’s thesis, doctoral research, research within clinical training and special projects with microscopIA experts. Institutional approval and a written supervision plan apply.
HOW AN AGENDA BECOMES WORK
A scientific team, with clear responsibilities.
A sustained agenda
A group brings people together around related questions. An observatory organizes a thematic programme and its projects; an individual proposal needs its own evaluation.
A defined contribution
The lead reviews fit, preparation, languages and supervision capacity. Roles, time commitment, deliverables and follow-up are agreed before execution.
A verifiable record
Activity is evidenced through documented projects, contributions and outputs. Membership, group admission and authorship are assessed separately.
What should I know before applying?
- Check each group’s nationality or residency and language requirements.
- Share your profile, skills, interests and realistic availability. Admission depends on the lead’s evaluation and team capacity.
- Each study must document its protocol, responsible investigator, applicable permissions and ethics review, data use, conflicts and contribution criteria.
- Only outputs with a verified relationship should be presented as group production. An individual’s prior experience does not establish a group output.
Build a research group with microscopIA
Bring scientific leadership and a sustained research program. We review the proposal, required resources and recruitment plan before agreeing the group’s scope.
Proposed group name, purpose and scientific priorities.
Proposed leader’s CV, relevant expertise and supervision capacity.
At least three distinct projects: question, design, data sources, permissions, timeline and expected outputs.
Member recruitment: roles, places, qualifications, languages, weekly commitment and selection criteria.
Resources requested, existing support, conflicts of interest and proposed data and intellectual-property arrangements.
Applications to join established groups are open throughout the year to active members, subject to fit and capacity. Group approval does not automatically approve its projects.
