The BioPhotonics Conference

Keynote speakers

Keynote speakers representing industry and academia will deliver sessions that offer insights into preeminent imaging technologies and potential clinical therapeutics.

In “Clinical Multicontrast Spectroscopy,” Jürgen Popp — scientific director of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology in Jena, Germany, and editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Biophotonics — will highlight recent efforts to implement multicontrast spectroscopy in combination with AI-based analysis for improved clinical diagnoses leading to personalized therapies. Popp will also discuss the use of Raman spectroscopy in routine clinical applications.

“Quantum-Enhanced Superresolution Confocal Microscopy,” from Dan Oron of the Weizmann Institute of Science, and “Advanced Optoacoustic and Fluorescence Techniques for Noninvasive Scalable Imaging of Mammalian Brain,” from Daniel Razansky of the University of Zürich and ETH Zürich round out the keynote sessions.
