DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The 2008 Gordon Research Conference on Lasers in Medicine and Biology will be held from July 20-27, 2008 at the Holderness School in Plymouth, NH. The intent of the conference is to assemble lead investigators from academia, clinics/hospitals, national laboratories, and industry to examine the future directions of biophotonics research with the goal of improving medical practices and biological understanding. A second goal of this conference is to provide an intellectually challenging, open, and convivial environment to assimilate young researchers into this exciting field. Nine technical sessions are scheduled to provide a broad and comprehensive coverage of the biophotonics field while giving in depth examination of several rapidly developing subfields. Four sessions provide general coverage: Novel biophotonic technologies in the macroscopic area, Novel biophotonic technologies in the microscopic/nanoscopic area, Clinical diagnosis based on endogenous signals, and Clinical diagnosis based on exogenous probes. Four sessions are more focused: Photodynamic therapy, Minimal invasive techniques, Intravital tumor biology investigations in animal models, and Image based bioinformatics. We further scheduled a technical session featuring interactive scientific discussions on two topical issues in the biophotics field; the participants of these debates are limited to graduates students and postdoctoral fellows who will be coached by dedicated faculty mentors. The main goal of these interactive discussion sessions is to further involve junior researchers in active scientific dialogs. We believe that the biophotoics community is an important growing component in our national's biomedical research portfolio and this Gordon Research Conference is vital to the health of our community. We seek funds from the National Institute of Health to support this important meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：2008年戈登研究会议激光在医学和生物学将于2008年7月20日至27日在普利茅斯，新罕布什尔州的霍洛维茨学校举行。会议的目的是聚集来自学术界，诊所/医院，国家实验室和行业的主要研究人员，以研究生物光子学研究的未来方向，旨在改善医疗实践和生物学理解。本次会议的第二个目标是提供一个智力挑战，开放和欢乐的环境，吸收年轻的研究人员进入这个令人兴奋的领域。九个技术会议计划提供生物光子学领域的广泛和全面的覆盖面，同时深入研究几个快速发展的子领域。四个会议提供一般覆盖：宏观领域的新型生物光子技术，微观/纳米领域的新型生物光子技术，基于内源性信号的临床诊断，以及基于外源性探针的临床诊断。四个会议更集中：光动力学治疗，微创技术，活体肿瘤生物学研究的动物模型，和基于图像的生物信息学。我们还安排了一个技术会议，就生物光子学领域的两个热点问题进行互动式科学讨论;这些辩论的参与者仅限于研究生和博士后研究员，他们将由专门的教师导师指导。这些互动讨论会的主要目标是进一步让初级研究人员参与积极的科学对话。我们相信，生物光子学社区是我们国家生物医学研究组合的一个重要组成部分，这次戈登研究会议对我们社区的健康至关重要。我们向国家卫生研究所寻求资金，以支持这一重要会议。
