SERS-Based Biophotonics: From Nanotags to Microscopy and POCT
Molecularly functionalized gold nanoparticles (SERS nanotags) are bright and photostable labeling agents for biophotonics that allow quantification and multiplexing. After an introduction to their basic physics and chemistry, applications for 6-plex single-cell bioimaging and point-of-care testing with an ultrasensitive lateral-flow assay including the design of a compact and rapid SERS reader are presented.

Laser Particles for Single Cell Analysis
DNA-based cell barcoding has been critical in single-cell sequencing. Optical barcoding based on microlasers offers a new paradigm in single cell analysis, enabling us to integrate comprehensive single-cell data in large scale across multiple dimensions from dynamic behavior to molecular phenotypes.

Georgia B
IONS+ Vancouver 2023 is a full-day event for students attending the Optica Biophotonics Congress. Started in 2008, IONS allow students the opportunity to build an environment where they can exchange research, hear from luminaries and professionals in the field, as well as showcase and enjoy the local culture of the host city. IONS+ Vancouver will be hosted by the University of Victoria Optica Student Chapter.
Women in Optics Reception
Sunday, 23 April 19:00 – 20:00
Mosaic Grill & Bar
This informal networking event brings together women in biomedical optics — to meet other women in the field and discuss challenges and opportunities. All are welcome, regardless of gender. Please join Chairs Caroline Boudoux, Conor Evans and members of the Optica Biophotonics Congress committee, and meet others attending this cutting-edge congress. Share your ideas to help ensure our community and this meeting is as welcoming and inclusive as possible.
Conference Reception
Monday, 24 April 18:30 – 20:00
34th Floor, Hyatt Regency Vancouver
With incredible views of downtown Vancouver, the North Shore mountains and the Pacific Ocean, this top floor space is host to the Congress Reception.
A Celebration of 30 Years of Single Molecule Optical Tweezers
Tuesday, 25 April 17:30 – 18:30
Regency Ballroom A
It has been 30 years since the landmark publication from Steven Block’s group (Svoboda et al. Nature, 365, 6448, 1993) in which individual steps of the molecular motor kinesin were measured using optical tweezers and shown to be 8nm in size. This seminal work began a new branch of single-molecule biophysics that has spawned many applications beyond the initial measurements on molecular motors.
Join the Optical Trapping in Molecular and Cellular Biology Technical Group as it celebrates the publication. The session features two short talks describing the original work and exploring recent advances and future applications of the single molecule field. Networking and refreshments served.
