Synopsis
Optical sensing, characterization and imaging systems are finding more and more applications in life sciences, a field coined as biophotonics. From biology to pharmaceutics and medicine, a broad range of imaging techniques can now probe biomolecules, cells and tissues with unprecedented resolution, sensitivity and specificity in vitro but also deep inside living organisms or even human patients; at the same time biosensing techniques, both label- and label-free based, are offering promising solutions for a rapid and accurate detection of biomarkers and analytes strongly correlated to specific pathologies.
This TOM aims at bringing together researchers working on the applications of optics in life sciences, from fundamental biology to clinical applications.
