Introduction
Spectroscopic and imaging methods have become valuable tools for both pre-clinical and clinical applications, ranging from in vivo tissue monitoring to the investigation of excised samples on the molecular scale. In clinical diagnostics, optical spectroscopy and imaging provides detailed structural and functional information on organs, tissues and body liquids. Basic preclinical biomedical applications include the detailed investigation of tissues and cells down to the level of single molecules, helping to understand the principles of cellular and sub-cellular processes that contribute to the early transformation of normal to diseased tissue, such as when malignant tumours are developed.
This conference provides an interdisciplinary platform to promote interaction between physicians, physicists, engineers, biologists, chemists and related researchers, in order to strengthen an integrated and holistic understanding of normal tissue development and the genesis of diseases, with the ultimate goal of using this understanding to develop and translate new, more efficient diagnostic and treatment modalities.
