X SYMPOSIUM ON OPTICS & BIOPHOTONICS 2022
- English
About conference
The main goal of SFM’22 is to present and discuss recent developments and applications of optical and laser technologies in biology and medicine, precise mechanics and control of tissues and cells, coherent optics of random and ordered media, material and environmental sciences, nonlinear dynamics of laser systems, laser physics, spectroscopy, and molecular modeling, nanophotonics and nanobiophotonics.
Program
Specific problems of imaging and engineering of eukaryotic genomes, laser femtosecond optoporation of cells and tissues for transfection of cells in situ, remote controllable nanostructured systems for site-specific delivery and diagnostics, development of technologies for optical ‘disruption’ of the blood-brain barrier, and personalized treatment of aggressive forms of glial tumors, combined thermographic and terahertz imaging of tissues in the diagnosis of skin and mucous membranes, photoacoustic technologies for early theranostics of metastatic tumors, the discovery of fundamental sleep mechanisms for breakthrough technologies of neurorehabilitation medicine, and development of methods for screening-wise non-invasive diagnostics of viral and bacterial respiratory infections using laser spectroscopy and machine learning will be discussed.
The main attention will be paid to basic research of interactions of coherent, low-coherent, polarized, spatially- and temporally-modulated electromagnetic radiation within the broad wavelength range from x-rays to terahertz with inhomogeneous scattering media and biological tissues and cells. Elastic, inelastic (Raman, SERS, and CARS) and dynamic light scattering, Doppler, photoacoustic, photothermal, and nonlinear interactions, tissue and cell mechanics, and photobiological effects will be considered.
On this basis, the variety of laser and optical technologies for medical diagnostics, therapy, surgery, and light dosimetry, as well as for diagnostics and imaging of random and ordered media will be presented. Studies on lasers, fibers, and microstructured waveguides will be discussed. Optogenetics, plasmonics, and biosensing also will be the key features of the meeting.
