Optica End-User Workshop at Biophotonics Congress

Optica End-User Workshop at Biophotonics Congress
25 April 2023
Hyatt Regency Vancouver, 34th Floor, Cypress Room, Vancouver, Canada
Focused for Industry. Free to attend
The End-User Workshop at the Biophotonics Congress is designed to bring together end-users from the biophotonics industry to exchange ideas on the latest developments in the field. Biophotonics is an interdisciplinary field that combines photonics, biology, and medicine to develop innovative solutions for healthcare, diagnosis, esthetics, and monitoring. These technologies are non-invasive, with high sensitivity, versatile, cost-effective, and require minimal sample preparation and at the same time with a big market in consumables. The workshop aims to provide a platform for end-users to share their experiences and discuss challenges in sensitivity, selectivity, photodamage, integration, and analysis. Main applications on microscopy, imaging, analytical instruments, therapeutic devices, sensing, optogenetic, and diagnostics will be addressed by end-users looking for collaboration with the industry. Participants will have the opportunity to engage, network, and collaborate to advance the development and adoption of biophotonics technologies in the industry.
Focused for Industry. Free to attend. Registration / RSVP required.
