'Optical solutions to biomedical problems', Marseille, France
20 June 2011 - 20 June 2011
France
An event entitled 'Optical solutions to biomedical problems' will take place from 20 to 21 June 2011 in Marseille, France.
Combating diseases depends to a high degree on tools for early diagnosis and prognosis. In cancer, for example, the earlier a tumour is detected, the better are the chances for the patient's recovery. By adding, subtracting, mixing and manipulating photons to explore molecular resonances inherent to molecules, non-linear optics (NLO) imaging technologies are challenging but promising for biomedical applications.
This symposium will aim to sum up the work already accomplished and to highlight its potential within the frame of an emerging personalised medicine.
The event is organised by the 'CARS (Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy) explorer' network, which is funded under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). It is composed of seven partner organisations from four European member states. The CARS consortium combines physicists, biologists and clinicians in the fields of medical imaging, NLO technology, pre-clinical animal models and skin cancer.For further information, please click: here(opens in new window)
