Topic Categories
ECBO 1: Translational Biophotonics: Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Biophotonics based methods have become valuable tools for both pre-clinical and clinical applications. In clinical diagnostics, optical spectroscopy and optical imaging provides detailed structural and functional information on organs, tissues and biofluids. Basic preclinical research in animal models and clinical research in humans includes the detailed investigation of tissues and cells down to the level of single molecules, helping to understand the principles of cellular and sub-cellular processes that contribute to the early transformation of normal to diseased tissue, such as when malignant tumours develop. Furthermore, light-tissue interactions for therapeutic applications include linear approaches such as photobiomodulation, photodynamic and other photochemical therapies, and nonlinear approaches based on photothermal or photo-ablative interactions. Therapeutic approaches on micro to macro length scales for hard and soft tissues include applications from brain surgery to ophthalmology.
This conference focuses on the research undertaken to translate biophotonics towards clinical and pre-clinical applications. The conference aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum for scientists, engineers, technicians, medical doctors, biologists and related researchers, with the ultimate goal of utilizing new understanding and novel technologies in biophotonics to develop new and more efficient diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for translation.
Contributed papers are solicited on all areas of clinical and preclinical optical and multi-modal diagnostic imaging, therapeutic approaches based on the light tissue interaction, and image-guided therapies including, but not limited to, the following and related areas:
- Biomedical and Clinical Applications
- In Vivo Diagnostics and Physiological Monitoring

ECBO 2: Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy and Imaging
The study of diffuse optical spectroscopy and imaging in tissue continues to provide new insight into the structural and functional properties of tissues that are not easily assessed by alternative methods. The research and development of systems that exploit this approach has led to clinical prototype systems that are used in basic science and medical research.
Scientific applications range from the study of cerebral physiology to cancer patho-physiology in both animals and humans. Medical applications being explored encompass detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, brain cancer, cognitive neuroscience, stroke, hemorrhages, brain and muscular oxygenation, peripheral vascular diseases and joint diseases as well as establishing novel methods in drug discovery and tracking. Integration of diffuse light imaging into existing clinical instrumentation is a key area of development. Combining diffuse light systems with new contrast agents or other imaging modalities are also emerging as major growth areas. Further improvement in these and other applications rely on continued advancement in the theory of radiation transport in random media, in data analysis and image reconstruction, and in instrumentation design.
This meeting provides a key interdisciplinary forum for engineers, physicists, mathematicians, biomedical scientists and physicians to report on recent results, improvements and new approaches and applications for using diffusing light to characterize the structural and functional properties of tissue.
Contributed papers are solicited concerning, but not limited to, the following areas:

ECBO 3: Optical Systems for Mechanical and Biophysical Investigation (OMBI)
Biophysical properties (e.g. stiffness, viscosity, density, forces) have recently emerged as critical drivers of nearly all functions of cells, tissues, organs as well as the behavior of laboratory systems mimicking the behavior of biological matter.
A number of emerging and highly promising optical technologies are under development that provide new contrast mechanisms to visualize and manipulate biophysical properties at all spatial and temporal scales. Examples include novel spectroscopy and microscopy techniques to assess tissue and cell biomechanics, methods to quantify cell and tissue-generated forces, as well as optical techniques to identify mechanics-related signaling pathways.
These novel approaches are often driven by task-specific requirements of a particular application where biophysical properties are demonstrating tremendous value for understanding the health, structural integrity, and normal function of cells and organs, as well as for the clinical diagnosis of various diseases. Moreover, a number of new ideas are being investigated based on new methodologies, physical basis, instrument development, integration techniques, and data analysis.
This conference will present a highly interdisciplinary forum of interest to instrument designers, sensor builders, basic and applied clinical researchers, and other scientists interested in exploring non-traditional optical contrast mechanisms aimed at biophysical and biomechanical characterizations of biologically-relevant samples.

Recent innovations in multi-dimensional microscopy have an important impact on the biological and medical fields ranging from cellular and developmental biology to neurosciences. We hope that the broad range of relevant topics presented at this conference will encourage the interaction among physicists, optical engineers, computer image analysts, and biologists.

ECBO 5: Optoacoustic Methods and Applications in Biophotonics
Optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging has grown significantly to a powerful optical imaging platform suitable for basic research, clinical translation, and drug discovery. Advances in system design, laser and ultrasound detection technology, and reconstruction and data processing algorithms now offer the ability to visualize a large range of anatomical, functional and molecular bio-markers based on optical contrast, thus enabling exciting biological and clinical applications in basic discovery, early diagnostics and therapy monitoring.
A strength of the optoacoustic methodology is its versatility, manifest in the numerous distinct imaging concepts employed in it: multispectral imaging, nonlinear imaging, real-time imaging, tomography, microscopy, mesoscopy, macroscopy, endoscopy, etc. Further, label-free imaging of functional parameters of vasculature including hemoglobin oxygenation, tissue metabolism and water and lipid contrast can be combined with the detection of exogenous molecular agents to provide more complete views of pathologies at scales ranging from microns to several centimeters. Additionally, the ability to detect nanoparticle contrast agents by means of their optical absorption enables unique in vivo visualization.
This emerging field of the imaging sciences integrates many scientific disciplines from physics and engineering to chemistry and mathematics, through to biotechnology and preclinical/clinical biomedicine. It is the aim of this conference to bring together these disciplines, with particular emphasis on development and adaption of optoacoustic technology to enable novel biological and clinical applications. All areas in optoacoustic sensing and imaging are welcomed, from hardware and algorithmic developments, to novel concepts, applications and contrast generation mechanisms, including photo-absorbing agents and nanoparticles.
