What is Biophotonics? Biophotonics is the application of optics and photonics to biology; in basic research, diagnostics and biomedical intervention. It is a transdisciplinary field which relates to physics (optics, photonics), chemistry (spectroscopy, chromophores, nanomaterials), biology, biochemistry, medicine (DNA, proteins, cells, tissues, organisms), engineering (instrumentation) and ethics (in medicine, biology, environment and research). Why study […]

Studying Biophotonics Registration Why biophotonics? Biophotonics is at the core of societal, economic and technological issues. It has revolutionized the life sciences and medicine: therapeutic applications using light are more and more widespread; new optical imaging techniques make the human body transparent and pave the way for the exploration of the infinitely small. Optics are
