This conference will provide an international forum forreporting recent progress in imaging and sensing in biologyand medicine, as well as related areas. In biomedical
optics and photonics, optical tools are employed for theunderstanding and treatment of diseases, from the cellularlevel to macroscopic applications. At the cellular level, highly
precise laser applications allow the manipulation, operationor stimulation of cells, even in living organisms or animals.
Optical microscopy has been revolutionized by a thoroughunderstanding of the different markers and their switching
behavior. Marker-free microscopy technologies, like CARS,SHG or THG-microscopy, Digital Holographic Microscopy,
are spreading into multiple biological and clinical imaging
applications. OCT is continuously broadening its clinicalapplicability by becoming even higher resolution, higher
speed and more compact. Computational imaging including
compressive sensing and deep learning is a rapidly growing
field to create powerful applications such as imaging,sensing, and diagnosis. In the broader field of optics andphotonics, biomedical imaging and sensing are the mostquickly progressing and expanding areas. Techniquesdeveloped in these areas could greatly advance physical,
engineering and biological knowledge as well as optics andphotonics technology.
This conference will include basic research at cellular level
through clinical applications of various optical technologies.
Both invited papers and regular contributions will be presented. All abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee for originality and merit. Topics of the conference
are listed below, but other topics related to biomedical
imaging are also welcome.

TOPICS:• medical and biological imaging instrumentationand techniques• optogenetics• advanced microscopy• advanced endoscopy• super resolution in biomedical imaging and sensing• computational imaging in biomedical imaging andsensing• adaptive optics in biomedical imaging and sensing• structured illumination in biomedical imaging andsensing• interferometry and holography in biology andmedicine• optical coherence tomography• diffuse optical tomography• digital holography• quantitative phase imaging• photoacoustic imaging• multimodal imaging and sensing• optical biopsy• spectroscopic imaging and sensing• multispectral imaging and sensing• scattering imaging• fluorescence imaging• molecular imaging• terahertz sensing• optical fibers and sensors for biomedicine• multimodality optical diagnostic systems.
