Leaders in Biomedical Optics to Headline OSA Biophotonics Congress
HOLLYWOOD – Advances in biomedical optics and biophotonics are being translated into clinical medical and surgical applications to improve our health. Fundamental discoveries in optical science and engineering have enabled new ways to detect, diagnose, and treat diseases such as cancer and neurological disease. The OSA Biophotonics: Biomedical Optics is comprised of four technical sessions and three plenary sessions focusing on technological solutions to medical challenges and medical applications, complementing the OSA Congress on Optics in Life Sciences.
The Congress will cover a diversity of cutting-edge research and innovative new tools and techniques, and will bring together an international group of leading engineers, optical and medical scientists, and physicians, as well as junior researchers and graduate students, who are engaged in optical methods to advance discovery and application of medical science to clinical practice.
