The Technical Program

The technical program spans the development of optical methods through their biological, medical and clinical applications, bringing together research from across the field of biophotonics.

For 2027, papers are organized into six topic categories. Researchers submit to the category most closely aligned with their work, while attendees can explore research across the full congress through invited and contributed oral presentations, panel discussions, poster sessions and postdeadline papers.

Topic Categories

Bio-Optics: Design and Application (BODA)
Clinical and Translational Biophotonics (Translational)
Novel Techniques in Microscopy (NTM)
Optical Manipulation and its Applications (OMA)
Optical Molecular Probes, Imaging and Drug Delivery (OMP)
Optics and the Brain (Brain)
