Photonics for Healthcare: multiscAle cancer diagnosiS and Therapy

Project description

Biophotonic technologies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer

Biophotonics is an area of study focusing on utilising innovative optics and photonics in biology, life sciences and biomedicine. A particularly important aspect of this field is the photonic characterisation of biological cells and tissue for an improved medical diagnosis. The European Training Network PHAST is providing excellent, high-level education and training in the vibrant field of biophotonics to 15 early stage researchers via a strong multidisciplinary PhD programme. The EU-funded PHAST project aims to develop multiscale advanced photonic technologies to help diagnose cancer in vitro and in vivo and monitor treatment in personalised medicine. Furthermore, it will address a string of unmet needs of the medical community in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer to improve the quality of life for Europeans.
