Description


The intention of the course is to develop a broad skill set for research in biomedical optics including the fundamentals of light-tissue interaction, technologies such as microscopy, lasers and fiber optics and issues related to animal and human research. The lecture series will also introduce current clinical and basic biology challenges that may be addressed by optical solutions. The students will prepare a report summarizing the critical issues of selected challenges and will propose technical solutions.
