There are few basic biological science studies that are not touched by biomedical optics. Optical methods play
a critical role in biotechnologies ranging from genomics to cell-based assays to in vivo imaging and therapies.In light of this, the importance of biomedical optics has never been greater. The upcoming Biomedical Optics meeting covers the diversity of cutting edge biomedical research and brings together leading scientists, engineers and physicians engaged in biological and medical research using optical methods. With over 400 attendees, this must-attend meeting affords attendees the opportunity to interact one-on-one with oral presenters, along with multiple poster sessions allowing for lively discussions of the latest research.
Online Access to Technical Digest Now Available!
Full Technical Attendees now have an alternate way to access the digest papers at the meeting. Access the papers through Optics InfoBase using the same login email address and password provided during the meeting registration process. Access is currently limited to Biomedical Optics and Three-Dimensional Imaging Full Technical Attendees only. If you need assistance with your login information, please use the forgot password utility or "Contact Help" link.
We are excited to announce a new enhancement to the value of your registration to this year's conference! Selected sessions (including all plenary talks) from the Biomedical Optics Topical Meeting as well as the Joint BIOMED/DH Plenary will be recorded. This content is presented as audio-recording synched with the speakers' power point presentations. All registered full technical attendees will have complimentary access to the program content for a period of 60 days post conference. Recorded content will be available 24 hours following its presentation.
