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 年戈登医学和生物学激光研究会议将于 2008 年 7 月 20 日至 27 日在新罕布什尔州普利茅斯的霍尔德内斯学校举行。会议的目的是聚集来自学术界、诊所/医院、国家实验室和工业界的主要研究人员，研究生物光子学研究的未来方向，以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具有智力挑战性、开放且欢乐的环境，让年轻研究人员融入这个令人兴奋的领域。计划举行九场技术会议，广泛而全面地覆盖生物光子学领域，同时深入研究几个快速发展的子领域。四个分会场涵盖：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、基于内源信号的临床诊断和基于外源探针的临床诊断。四个会议更加集中：光动力疗法、微创技术、动物模型中的活体肿瘤生物学研究以及基于图像的生物信息学。我们还安排了一场技术会议，就生物光学领域的两个热门问题进行互动科学讨论；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。这些互动讨论会议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，生物光学界是我国生物医学研究组合中不断增长的重要组成部分，这次戈登研究会议对我们社区的健康至关重要。我们向国立卫生研究院寻求资金来支持这次重要会议。
