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.

项目概要 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、跨学科的活动 重点关注生物医学光学领域的会议将于 2017 年 7 月在科罗拉多州斯诺马斯举行。 光学是指光在医学诊断和治疗以及生物学研究中的应用。 然而，生物医学光学的应用在生物医学中无处不在，支持技术发展； 由于我们的领域有能力不断重塑自己，因此生物医学光学在今天仍然具有高度的相关性 从最近十年颁发的诺贝尔奖就可以看出：荧光蛋白、CCD相机、超 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、纤维内窥镜、 光学微流变学，以及通过多重散射组织进行成像，具有广泛的医学意义 从癌症到神经系统疾病再到心血管疾病的应用我们进一步决定。 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、衰老相关的慢性和退行性疾病以及精准医学的使用。 通过组织有关新流行的会议，认识到通过商业化进行翻译的重要性 消费者生物光子设备以及新型生物医学技术商业化的最佳实践。 这些令人兴奋的主题，本次会议将汇集生物医学光学研究各个方面的专家， 会议形式旨在促进分享。 跨越医学和工程广泛领域的创意，同时为 学生和受训者的知识多元化并与该领域的主要领导者建立关系。 海报会议将为初级研究者提供充足的机会来描述和讨论他们的工作 我们领域的领先专家；最佳海报的初级研究人员将获奖并受邀参加 在会议宴会期间展示他们的工作 NIH 提供的资金将使我们能够补贴 初级调查员的注册费，并将为女性和少数族裔与会者提供旅行奖励。 因此，本次会议的目标是： 目标 1：确定该领域最新、最前沿的进展 目标 2：生物医学光学领域，并提供一个分享这些新发现和想法的论坛。 纳入对该领域至关重要的主题，以促进跨学科学习和培训，以及 确定有前途的模式在更广泛采用/商业化方面取得的进展。 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，以及 从会议中获益的人有机会参加并展示他们的工作 目标 4：创建一个 刺激网络、思想交流、协作和跨学科学习的环境。
