DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is requesting funds to support "Advances in Optics for Biotechnology, Medicine and Surgery", a small, interdisciplinary conference focused on the field of biomedical optics. Biomedical optics refers to the use of light in medicine and biomedical research, and exploits the many interactions that can occur between tissue and light from ultra-violet to infra-red wavelengths. The broad range of techniques encompassed by this young field are having profound impacts on medical diagnostics and therapy, as well as in biomedical research. By harnessing the absorption properties of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin in blood, optical imaging can be used to evaluate tissue function and perfusion. Absorption of light by water is the basis of laser surgery. Intrinsic fluorophores include a range of metabolites and can be exploited to delineate malignant lesions in- vivo. A wide range of optical contrast agents are increasingly being developed, and are complemented by new transgenic techniques that can specifically instruct individual cell types to generate fluorescence contrast. Development of optical imaging techniques that can allow visualization or exploitation of these many contrast mechanisms over length-scales from the whole head or breast, to single cells or sub-cellular components encompasses a wide range of disciplines including physics, engineering, mathematics and computing. This highly interdisciplinary field therefore requires broad skills sets that combine these technical areas with a deep understanding of medical, biomedical and biochemical targets and applications. 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. The conference will be held from the 5-8th June 2011 at Naples Beach Hotel, Naples, Florida, USA and sessions will be composed of invited talks from accomplished senior or rising experts. A poster session will provide students and post- doctoral fellows with ample opportunities to describe and discuss their work. Funds provided by the NIH will be used to defray registration and travel costs for students and invited speakers. 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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Project Narrative "Advances in Optics for Biotechnology, Medicine and Surgery" is a small (~120 attendee), interdisciplinary conference focused on the field of biomedical optics, which encompasses the use of light for a wide range of imaging, diagnostic and therapeutic applications in medicine and biomedical science. This conference will bring together established experts in all areas of this field, along with students, clinicians and representatives from industry. The meeting will focus on novel and emerging technologies as well as fundamental concepts, and will encourage networking and idea exchange between its diverse participants.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案请求资金支持“生物技术、医学和外科光学进展”，这是一个专注于生物医学光学领域的小型跨学科会议。生物医学光学是指光在医学和生物医学研究中的应用，并利用组织与从紫外线到红外线波长的光之间可能发生的许多相互作用。这个年轻领域所涵盖的广泛技术正在对医学诊断和治疗以及生物医学研究产生深远的影响。 通过利用血液中氧合血红蛋白和脱氧血红蛋白的吸收特性，光学成像可用于评估组织功能和灌注。水吸收光是激光手术的基础。固有荧光团包括一系列代谢物，可用于描绘体内恶性病变。越来越多的光学造影剂被开发出来，并得到新的转基因技术的补充，这些技术可以专门指导单个细胞类型产生荧光对比。光学成像技术的发展可以实现从整个头部或乳房到单细胞或亚细胞成分的长度尺度上的多种对比机制的可视化或利用，涵盖了广泛的学科，包括物理、工程、数学和计算。因此，这个高度跨学科的领域需要广泛的技能，将这些技术领域与对医学、生物医学和生化目标和应用的深刻理解结合起来。 这次会议将汇集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。会议形式旨在促进医学和工程广泛领域的创意分享，同时为学生和学员提供充足的机会，使他们的知识多样化并与该领域的主要领导者建立关系。会议将于 2011 年 6 月 5 日至 8 日在美国佛罗里达州那不勒斯的那不勒斯海滩酒店举行，会议将邀请资深或新晋专家进行演讲。海报会议将为学生和博士后研究员提供充足的机会来描述和讨论他们的工作。国立卫生研究院提供的资金将用于支付学生和受邀演讲者的注册和旅行费用。 因此，本次会议的目标是： 目标 1：确定生物医学光学领域最新、最前沿的发展，并提供一个分享这些新发现和想法的论坛。目标 2：纳入对该领域至关重要的主题，以促进跨学科学习和培训，并确定有希望的模式在更广泛采用/商业化方面的进展。目标 3：确保演讲者和与会者的多样性，确保所有有能力为会议做出贡献并从会议中获益的人都有机会参加并展示他们的工作。目标 4：创造一个促进网络、思想交流、协作和跨学科学习的环境。 公共健康相关性：项目叙述“生物技术、医学和外科光学的进展”是一个小型（约 120 名与会者）跨学科会议，重点关注生物医学光学领域，涵盖光在广泛的成像、诊断中的应用以及在医学和生物医学科学中的治疗应用。这次会议将汇集该领域所有领域的知名专家以及学生、临床医生和行业代表。会议将重点讨论新颖和新兴技术以及基本概念，并将鼓励不同参与者之间的交流和思想交流。
