This conference explored photonics for diagnostics and treatment using interactions between light and biological systems, and the latest advances in biomedicine and advanced imaging.
BioPhotonics Generating and harnessing light to image and sense; detect and manipulate biological systems.
•
Medical Imaging Fluorescent nanomaterials have enormous potential as nanoscale light sources and sensors operating as beacons within biological environments. These are changing the way biological systems can be studied and stretching the fundamental limits of detection.
•
Fibre Sensing Advanced optical fibres have the ability to change the way in which light is delivered to / from nano-environments.
