Join fellow attendees for the congress reception.

This panel discussion will examine the expanding role of artificial intelligence (AI) across the biophotonics research spectrum, from basic discovery science to translational and clinical applications. Panelists will highlight how AI is being used to analyze complex biological data, generate new hypotheses and accelerate the translation of fundamental findings into practical tools and therapies. The discussion will also address key challenges, including data integration, model interpretability, reproducibility and ethical considerations and will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, the panel will underscore AI’s potential to enhance biophotonics research at multiple levels while highlighting the need for responsible and rigorous implementation and standardization. This panel discussion is a joint event by the Clinical and Translational Biophotonics, Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Tomography and Spectroscopy Topicals. 

The Industry Chairs are organizing an engagement event to provide an opportunity to continue important conversations and network with industry representatives. Details will be provided soon.

The conference concludes with a closing toast, providing an opportunity to reflect on the week and discuss learnings with fellow attendees.
