Topic Areas
Biophotonics
Biophotonics is a modern cross-disciplinary field involving developments in areas of laser physics, electro-optics, optical fibers, detectors, sensors, imaging, and nanophotonics on one hand, and cell and molecular biology, medical science and new biomaterials, on other hand. This field is a rapidly emerging medical technology because minimally invasive biophotonics techniques are potential alternatives to conventional medical methods for diagnosis and therapy as these techniques offer a non-contact, effective, fast and painless way for sensing, monitoring and treatment of various diseases. The focus of this meeting is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for state-of-the-art developments in both fundamental and technological biophotonics areas. Biophotonics Committee solicits contributed papers on the following advanced topics: minimally invasive diagnostics methods and systems (such as fluorescence, absorption, Raman, evanescence-wave and NIR/IR spectroscopy; dynamic light scattering; light-tissue interaction mechanisms and multi-modality diagnostics systems); novel biosensors including nanobiosensors; advanced optical therapeutic techniques (such as cancer therapy, novel fiber-optic based surgical and tissue ablation procedures, ultrashort laser tissue treatment); high-resolution medical imaging techniques including single cell and intracellular imaging beyond the diffraction limit in the subwavelength nanoscale as well as endoscopic imaging systems; novel laser, fiber-optics and electro-optics biomedical instrumentation.
