About Optica Biophotonics Congress
The Optica Biophotonics Congress is the premier global forum for exploring groundbreaking advances in biomedical science and engineering — innovations that are rapidly moving from research labs into clinical applications for disease diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
This dynamic meeting highlights the latest tools and technologies in microscopic optical imaging, including photoacoustic, endoscopic, light field/sheet, and multiphoton techniques. Sessions also focus on the development of advanced contrast agents, label-free imaging methods and the use of light to manipulate and study biological systems at the cellular and subcellular levels.
Key themes include:
-
Cutting-edge optical techniques for tracking disease progression, monitoring treatment efficacy and visualizing cancer margins in vivo.
-
The latest advances in drug response imaging and novel drug delivery approaches.
-
Emerging technologies in remote health monitoring.
-
The integration of deep learning, AI and machine learning in biomedical data analysis and interpretation.
-
Translational biophotonics: bridging the gap between research and clinical practice.
-
Neuroscience applications, including brain imaging and optical tools to stimulate and monitor neural activity.
The Congress convenes a diverse, international community of engineers, optical and medical scientists, clinicians and early-career researchers. Together, they are advancing the field of biophotonics and its transformative impact on human health.
