Lester Wolfe Workshop in Laser Biomedicine


“Photons in the Fight Against Cancer:

Optics in Immuno-oncology”



After decades of disappointment, immunotherapy for cancer is now considered the brightest hope for conquering the dread disease. Checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cells, and antibody targeted therapeutics are leading the way. This Lester-Wolfe Workshop examines the role that optics and photonics are playing in this endeavor. In vivo optical imaging and optical theranostics are some of the topics that will be addressed.
