DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advances in Optics for Biotechnology, Medicine and Surgery is a small (approximately 100-120 participants), interdisciplinary conference focused on biomedical optics - an area of direct relevance to the National Institutes of Health. Much of this conference is geared to novel optical technologies for imaging, detection and treatment of disease, including cancers, pre-cancers, inflammation, hematology, metabolic diseases, and general medicine. Photonics, the science and engineering of light, is widely regarded as the engine of the next technical revolution and its influence is also beginning to be felt in biomedical sciences. From microscopy to noninvasive diagnostics to genetic analysis, biomedical optics offers highly specific ways to probe cells, tissues, and living organisms. This is a highly interdisciplinary science and the development and dissemination of this material can impact medical care and improve diagnostic and treatment efficacy, reduce cost, reduce invasiveness of diagnostic procedures, better understand changes in tissue, and ultimately improve healthcare. This conference is a vehicle to facilitate the interdisciplinary interaction necessary to see ideas brought to fruition as practical techniques and devices. This particular venue traditionally encompasses high impact invited talks, focused on key areas that adapt to this highly evolving field of biomedical optics. The main aims of this conference are: Aim 1: To identify and bring together the most promising technologies and scientists in biomedical optics and enable presentation and understanding of the key state-of-the-art methods and technologies. Aim 2: To ascertain the progress with application of these technologies in basic research, clinical practice, and in drug discovery and healthcare. Aim 3: To support the education and understanding of the multi-disciplinary field of biomedical optics and associated applications. Aim 4: To promote interaction between the invited scientists and participating students, and to enable collaborations.

描述（由申请人提供）： 生物技术、医学和外科光学进展是一个小型（约100-120名与会者）跨学科会议，重点关注生物医学光学--与美国国立卫生研究院直接相关的领域。本次会议的大部分内容都是针对成像，检测和治疗疾病的新型光学技术，包括癌症，癌前病变，炎症，血液学，代谢疾病和普通医学。光子学，光的科学和工程，被广泛认为是下一次技术革命的引擎，它的影响也开始在生物医学科学中感受到。从显微镜到非侵入性诊断再到遗传分析，生物医学光学提供了探测细胞、组织和生物体的高度特异性方法。这是一门高度跨学科的科学，这种材料的开发和传播可以影响医疗保健，提高诊断和治疗效果，降低成本，减少诊断程序的侵入性，更好地了解组织的变化，并最终改善医疗保健。这次会议是一个工具，以促进必要的跨学科的互动，看到的想法带来的成果，作为实用的技术和设备。这个特殊的场所传统上包括高影响力的邀请会谈，重点是适应生物医学光学这个高度发展的领域的关键领域。主要目的 本次会议的主题是： 目标1：确定并汇集生物医学领域最有前途的技术和科学家 光学，并使介绍和理解的关键国家的最先进的方法和技术。 目的2：了解这些技术在基础研究、临床应用和临床研究中的进展， 实践，药物发现和医疗保健。 目标3：支持生物医学光学多学科领域的教育和理解 以及相关的应用程序。 目标4：促进受邀科学家和参与学生之间的互动， 合作。
