Optical solutions to biomedical problems, Marseille, France
20 June 2011 - 20 June 2011
France
An event on optical solutions to biomedical problems will take place on 20 and 21 June 2011 in Marseille, France.
Combating diseases is strongly dependent on tools enabling early diagnosis and prognosis. With cancer, for example, where 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 effective transfer of NLO to biomedicine needs to be considered as a multimodal source of information.
The event is being organised by the EU-funded 'Innovative contrast imaging by non-linear optics for the observation of biological tissues in vivo and in real time, at cellular and molecular levels' (Cars explorer) project. Topics that are set to be covered will include an overview of the work already done and its potential within the frame of an emerging personalised medicine.For further information, please visit: http://www.carsexplorer.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=6(opens in new window)
