Project Summary We seek to organize “Advances in Optics for Biotechnology, Medicine and Surgery”, a small, interdisciplinary conference focused on the field of biomedical optics to be held in Snowmass, CO, in July 2017. Biomedical optics refers to the use of light in medical diagnosis and treatment and in biological research. Today, the applications of biomedical optics are ubiquitous in biomedicine; however, supporting technology development in biomedical optics remains highly relevant today due to our field's ability to continuously reinvent itself as can be seen from the Nobel prizes awarded in just the past decade: fluorescent proteins, CCD cameras, super- resolution imaging, and blue LEDs. Our conference will explore some of the most exciting technological developments in our field including novel methods in multi-scale imaging and sensing, in fiber endoscopy, in optical microrheology, and in imaging through multiply scattering tissues with a broad range of medical applications from cancer to neurological diseases to cardiovascular disorders. We have further decided to tackle important medical areas that are under-represented in biomedical optical conferences: rare or orphan diseases, aging related chronic and degenerative diseases, and the use of precision medicine. Finally, the importance of translation via commercialization is recognized by organizing sessions on newly prevalent consumer biophotonic devices and on best practice on commercializing novel biomedical techniques. With these exciting topics, this meeting will draw together experts from all facets of biomedical optics research, including clinicians and experts from industry. The conference format is designed to stimulate the sharing of creative ideas across broad areas of medicine and engineering, while providing ample opportunities for students and trainees to diversify their knowledge and develop relationships with key leaders in the field. A poster session will provide junior investigators with ample opportunities to describe and discuss their work with leading experts in our field; the junior investigators of the best posters will receive awards and will be invited to present their work during the conference banquet. Funds provided by the NIH will allow us to subsidize the registration fee of junior investigators and will provide travel awards for women and minority attendees. The aims of this meeting are therefore: Aim 1: To identify the newest and most cutting edge developments in the field of biomedical optics, and provide a forum for sharing these new discoveries and ideas. Aim 2: To incorporate topics of fundamental importance to the field to facilitate interdisciplinary learning and training, and to ascertain the progress of promising modalities towards wider adoption / commercialization. Aim 3: To ensure diversity in both speakers and attendees, ensuring that all who have the capacity to contribute to, and gain from the meeting are afforded the opportunity to attend and showcase their work. Aim 4: To create an environment that stimulates networking, exchange of ideas, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary learning.

项目摘要 我们寻求组织“生物技术、医学和外科光学进展”，这是一个小型的跨学科会议 2017年7月，在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯举行的生物医学光学领域会议。生物医学 光学是指光在医学诊断和治疗以及生物学研究中的应用。今天 生物医学光学的应用在生物医学中无处不在;然而，支持技术发展 在生物医学光学仍然高度相关的今天，由于我们的领域的能力，不断重塑自己，因为可以 从过去十年颁发的诺贝尔奖中可以看出：荧光蛋白，CCD相机，超级 分辨率成像和蓝色LED。我们的会议将探讨一些最令人兴奋的技术 我们领域的发展，包括多尺度成像和传感，光纤内窥镜， 光学显微流变学，并在成像通过多重散射组织与广泛的医疗 从癌症到神经系统疾病再到心血管疾病。我们进一步决定， 解决生物医学光学会议中代表性不足的重要医学领域：罕见或孤儿 疾病、与衰老有关的慢性和退行性疾病以及精准医疗的使用。最后 通过商业化翻译的重要性得到了认可， 消费者生物光子设备和新型生物医学技术商业化的最佳实践。与 这些令人兴奋的主题，本次会议将吸引来自生物医学光学研究各个方面的专家， 包括临床医生和行业专家。会议形式旨在促进分享 在医学和工程的广泛领域的创意，同时提供充足的机会， 学生和受训人员，使他们的知识多样化，并与该领域的主要领导人建立关系。一 海报会议将为初级调查员提供充分的机会， 我们领域的领先专家;最佳海报的初级研究人员将获得奖项，并将被邀请 在会议宴会上展示他们的作品。NIH提供的资金将使我们能够补贴 初级调查员的登记费，并将为妇女和少数民族与会者提供旅行奖励。的 因此，本次会议的目标是：目标1：确定最新和最前沿的发展， 生物医学光学领域，并提供一个论坛，分享这些新的发现和想法。目标2： 纳入对该领域具有根本重要性的专题，以促进跨学科学习和培训， 确定有希望的模式在更广泛采用/商业化方面的进展情况。目标3： 确保演讲者和与会者的多样性，确保所有有能力做出贡献的人， 从会议中获益的人有机会参加并展示他们的工作。目标4：建立一个 环境，刺激网络，思想交流，协作和跨学科的学习。
