ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics

CNBP汇集了物理学家，化学家和生物学家，专注于控制光与物质之间的纳米级相互作用的巨大挑战，以探测生物体内复杂而动态的纳米环境。纳米科学和光子学的新兴融合提供了利用光来询问纳米尺度域的机会，提供了前所未有的局部测量。这将使生物科学家能够了解单细胞如何对周围环境做出反应并与之交流。这项科学将支持新一代设备，能够探测个体内细胞对环境条件或治疗的反应，创造创新和强大的新传感平台。

The CNBP brings together physicists, chemists and biologists focused on a grand challenge controlling nanoscale interactions between light and matter to probe the complex and dynamic nanoenvironments within living organisms. The emerging convergence of nanoscience and photonics offers the opportunity of using light to interrogate nanoscale domains, providing unprecedentedly localised measurements. This will allow biological scientists to understand how single cells react to and communicate with their surroundings. This science will underpin a new generation of devices capable of probing the response of cells within individuals to environmental conditions or treatment, creating innovative and powerful new sensing platforms.
