Program
Co-located Meetings
Bio-Optics: Design and Applications (BODA)
Addresses all aspects of developing and applying biomedical optical technologies for the life sciences, including
Novel Techniques in Microscopy (NTM)
Focuses on the development of new and creative techniques in optical microscopy for biological or biomedical
Optical Manipulation and Its Applications (OMA)
Covers the whole range of optical manipulation technologies currently being developed for studies in biophysics, single
Optical Molecular Probes, Imaging and Drug Delivery (OMP)
Focuses on the convergence in these rapidly evolving areas, spanning from basic biology to clinical diagnostics and
Optics and the Brain (Brain)
Focuses on innovative research, tools and techniques to increase fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous
Clinical and Translational Biophotonics (Translational)
Addresses clinical diagnostic, surgical guidance and therapeutic approaches that use light.
Through significant technological advances, optical techniques have been playing an ever-increasing role in the study and treatment of issues related to life sciences ranging from molecular-level investigation to clinical treatment of patients.
The latest advances in molecular probe development, life science imaging, novel and more powerful optical instrumentation and its application to study fundamental biological processes and clinical investigations will be presented. This progress in instrumentation development and its rapid application represents important enablers that permit studies not possible a few years ago. Cumulatively, the meetings in this congress bring together leaders in the field whose contributions are significantly advancing the state of the art in biological and medical research through the use of optical technologies.
