BioMedOptTex Symposium: May 23-25, 2012, College Station, TX

1234716迈斯纳生物医学光学领域在过去的几十年里有了巨大的增长。然而，随着研究人员在自己的研究中取得重大进展，研究小组之间的合作和协调不足。全国不同机构的研究人员可能从事相同的研究课题，遇到并解决类似的挑战，并实现相关的里程碑。德克萨斯州在生物医学光学领域拥有高度集中的研究人员；然而，这种密切的联系并未被利用来鼓励关于挑战和成功的合作和交流。BioMedOptTex研讨会于2012年5月23日至25日在德克萨斯农工大学举行，将汇聚德克萨斯州和美国的研究人员，共同推动光学技术和技术的发展，以改善世界各地对人类疾病的检测、诊断和治疗。

1234716MeissnerThe field of biomedical optics has had tremendous growth over the last few decades. However, as investigators have made major advances in their own research, there has been insufficient collaboration and coordination between research groups. Researchers at different institutions across the country may be working in the same research topic, encountering and solving similar challenges, and achieving related milestones. Texas has a high concentration of researchers in the field of biomedical optics; however, the close proximity has not been capitalized on to encourage collaboration and communication about the challenges and successes. The BioMedOptTex Symposium, held at Texas A&M University (May 23-25, 2012), will bring together researchers from across Texas and the United States to stimulate discussion about working together to advance the development of optical techniques and technologies to improve detection, diagnosis, and therapy of human disease around the world.
