Lester Wolfe Workshop in Laser Biomedicine


“Optical imaging in cancer: from the bench to the bedside”

Optical imaging of cancer is an increasingly powerful addition to the biological and biomedical toolbox. Optical imaging at the microscopic scale in animal models can help elucidate basic issues in cancer biology. Fluorescence imaging at a more macroscopic scale is being applied to guide surgery in the clinic. This workshop will highlight developments and applications of optical imaging at the bench in animals models, and in the clinic, highlighting recent developments in using near infrared light for image-guided surgery.
