Advances in photonic tools and techniques for the life sciences Thursday 26th April 2012 Sir Alexander Fleming Building Imperial College London - registration now open Significant advances in the development of optical techniques have led to an ever increasing role of photonics in the study of various problems in the life sciences, in medicine, clinical sciences, neurophysiology etc. Researchers are continually looking for better ways to analyse complex processes and photonics underpins many of the most promising approaches for medical diagnosis, drug development & other clinical and life science applications. Attend this event broaden your knowledge in the world of photonics by attending a key meeting for (bio)photonics technologies. The technical committee have announced that the Invited programme will include presentations by leading UK scientists: http://www.photonex.org/london/advances-in-photonic-tools-and-techniques.htm...
