DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\nTwo related but fundamentally different diffuse opt
ical methods -- near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse correlatio
n spectroscopy (DCS) -- were developed in hybrid probes towards translat
ional studies at the bed-side in the neuro-intensive care units (NICU).
I will briefly describe the fundamentals of both methods\, their technol
ogical implementation\, hybrid probes and the developments that led from
in-vivo studies on experimental rodent models ("bench-top") to pilot cl
inical studies ("bed-side"). I will discuss potential applications and l
imitations of this technology. The overall aim of this talk is to give a
outline of a case study that has progressed from the "bench-top to the
bed-side" in the last decade.\n\nSPEAKER \nDr. Turgut Durduran leads th
e "Medical Optics" group at ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences in
Barcelona\, Spain. After obtaining his Ph.D. at University of Pennsylva
nia\, he has worked as a post-doctoral fellow with Dr Arjun Yodh. He was
then appointed as a research faculty in the Department of Radiology at
University of Pennsylvania where he has focused on translating the newly
developed diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) technology to clinical
applications. He moved to ICFO in 2009 and since then is working on col
laborative projects with local hospitals and bio-medical research center
s on the development of diffuse optical technologies.

laser imaging by using pulsed sources. Concepts regarding the multiphot
on and the second harmonic generation imaging will be discussed\, togeth
er with lifetime imaging. The possibility to obtain morpho-funtional cha
racteristics of tissues will be described in different fields: from neur
oscience\, to dermatology\, ophthalmology and urology. Also\, different
clinical applications will be analyzed as a possible approach for early
diagnosis or follow up of laser or chemical therapies. \n\nSPEAKER\n\nP
rofessor Francesco Saverio Pavone is the Group Leader for the European L
aboratory for Non Linear Spectroscopy (LENS)\, where he directs a resear
ch group working in the field of biophotonics on single molecule biophys
ics\, microscopy imaging-spectroscopy techniques\, biomedical imaging\,
laser manipulation of bio-samples.\n\nIn particular\, he is developing n
ew microscopy techniques for high resolution and high sensitivity imagin
g\, and for laser manipulation purposes. These techniques have been appl
ied both for single molecule biophysics\, single cell imaging and optica
l manipulation. Tissue imaging is another research area developed\, wher
e non linear optical techniques have been applied for skin and neural ti
ssue imaging. Recently\, In-Vivo imaging apparatus have been developed a
nd applied to animals and humans.\n\nProf. Pavone is author of many inte
rnationals papers and editor of international books. He gave more than 5
0 invited talks and he is editor of international journals. He coordinat

DESCRIPTION:Antibodies epitomize the remarkable adaptability and exquisit
e molecular specificity of the host immune response. Substantial progres
s is being made towards unraveling the dauntingly complex mechanisms by
which a successful antibody response develops and is maintained. As impr
essive progress is being made toward the exploitation of antibodies as a
platform for the development of biodiagnostics and biotherapeutics that
will have an ever-increasing impact on virtually all areas of biomedica
l science and disease treatment. For these reasons\, this is an exciting
time to bring together scientists working at the cutting edges of basic
mechanisms of the antibody response\, antibody biochemistry and structu
re\, advanced antibody engineering technologies\, and clinical applicati
ons to share their new results\, cross-fertilize\, and synthesize bold n
ew concepts to guide the field.\n\nThis second Antibody Biology & Engine

DESCRIPTION:Autophagy is emerging as an important biomedical paradigm wit
h the potential to impact broadly on fundamental biological and translat
ional advances. Autophagy is a homeostatic response of eukaryotic cells
to external and internal triggers\, allowing them to maintain the qualit
y and quantity of their cytoplasmic components. When properly regulated\
, autophagy supports normal cellular and developmental processes\, where
as autophagic dysfunction is associated with a broad spectrum of human p
hysiological and diseases states. These include aging\, musculoskeletal
diseases\, chronic inflammatory conditions and innate and adaptive immun
ity\, cancer\, metabolic disorders\, and neurodegenerative diseases such
as Alzheimer’s\, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases. In parall
el with the discoveries related to the fundamental cellular and molecula
r mechanisms of autophagy\, the contributions of this process to the bas
is of diverse diseases is being uncovered at a rapid pace. The growth in
both breath and depth of the field opens new prospects for therapeutic
applications. This GRC meeting will capture the latest in molecular\, ce
llular\, physiological\, and medical advances in the field of autophagy.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nSpectroscopy in different flavors (absorbance\, f
luorescence\, Raman scattering) provides information about the chemical
constituents of a tissue. Photon scattering offers information about the
structural aspects of a tissue. Architectural landmarks are imaged by r
eflectance from refractive index mismatches at inter-layer interfaces\,
eg.\, OCT imaging of multi-layered tissues. Ultrastructural characteriz
ation of the tissue between such interfaces can be documented by (1) the
depth dependence of attenuation of backscattered reflectance signal (R)
\, (2) the wavelength dependence of R\, and (3) the angular dependence o
f R. If thin samples are used\, characterization can utilize transmissi
on measurements (T). The interpretation of such R and T measurements re
quires an accurate model of the size\, shape and number density distribu
tions of scattering particles in a tissue\, or the equivalent continuum
description as the spatial frequency of refractive index fluctuations.
Usually\, such a model is lacking. Nevertheless\, a fingerprint of chara
cterization can be derived using simple Mie theory to describe an equiva
lent solution of microspheres that mimics the observed scattering behavi
or of a tissue. This webinar discusses the issues involved in characteri
zing a tissue by scattering. The goal is a label-free contrast mechanism
for imaging cancer margins to guide surgery\, and as a method of follow
ing changes in tissues induced by pathology or drug treatments.\n\nSpeak
er Bio:\nSteven L. Jacques\, Ph.D.\, received a B.S. degree in Biology a
t M.I.T.\, and an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sci
ence and a Ph.D. degree in Biophysics and Medical Physics from the Unive
rsity of California-Berkeley (1984)\, where he used dielectric microwave
measurements to explore the in vivo distribution of water in the stratu
m corneum of human skin. His postdoctoral work was at the Wellman Cente
r for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital\, rising to the po
sition of Lecturer in Dermatology/Bioengineering\, Harvard Medical Schoo
l. His team developed the use of Monte Carlo computer simulations to stu
dy optical transport in biological tissues\, which is now widely used in
the field of biophotonics. \nIn 1988\, he joined the University of Tex
as M. D. Anderson Cancer as an Assistant Professor of Urology/Biophysics
and established a laboratory developing novel laser and optical methods
for medicine\, later achieving a tenured position as Associate Professo
r. He developed a hand-held spectrometer and the analysis software to no
ninvasively measure hyperbilirubinemia in newborns. This device was pate
nted\, licensed\, and FDA approved to replace painful heel stick tests\,
and is now in practice in neonatal care. As of 2009\, over 20 million n
ewborns have been tested with the device. In 1996\, he joined the Oregon
Health & Science University in Portland\, Oregon\, where he now serves
as Professor of Dermatology and Biomedical Engineering. His work contin
ues on developing novel uses of optical technologies for both therapy an
d diagnosis. Currently\, he has developed a hand-held polarized light ca
mera to visualize skin cancer margins and guide surgical excision\, now
in clinical trials. He has developed in vivo sub-nm measurements of vibr
ation of the cochlear membrane of the inner ear in animal models. He is
developing novel microscopes that are sensitive to the ultrastructure of
cells and tissues.

DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\n\nFor neuronal microcircuits\, the cooperative firi
ng activity of the neuronal population is the basic form of information
processing. To understand the neuronal function\, it is essential observ
e the firing patterns of neuronal population with high spatiotemporal re
solution Based on the dependency relationship between neuronal spiking a
nd the corresponding calcium signal\, the firing pattern have been monit
ored with sub-cell spatial resolution using two-photon imaging. However\
, it is still a big challenge to acquire the fast activation pattern of
the neuronal populations\, and assure their dynamic functional connectio
ns. Here we show 1) the development of a two-photon imaging system with
an inertia-free scanning technique to acquire the fast activity of neuro
nal populations\, and 2) a method to reconstruct the activation pattern
with single spike temporal resolution\, and thus are able to monitor the
dynamic functional connections. With the high spatio-temporal resolutio
n\, this method is expected to be a starting point to spy the function o
f the microcircuits\, such as information encoding and signal processing

DESCRIPTION:Functional Optical Imaging\nHosted by the Institute of Biophy
sics\, Imaging and Optical Science (IBIOS) \nUniversity of Nottingham\,
UK. \n2nd – 3rd July 2009.\n\nProgress in biological sciences has been
driven by development in optical imaging. In the early days visualizing
the structure of living cells lead to enormous insights. More recently
the emphasis of optical imaging has shifted from structural to functiona
l imaging\, where very specific biological questions can be addressed at
microscopic and\, in some cases\, nanoscopic scales. The importance of
functional imaging has\, of course\, been recently recognized by the awa
rd of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the developments in Green F
luorescent Protein as a unique means to spatially locate processes in ce
lls.\n\nFunctional imaging is a highly interdisciplinary area bringing t
ogether biologists\, chemists\, physicists and engineers. Our institute
of Biophysics\, Imaging and Optical Science has recently been establishe
d to bring together scientists in these disciplines and the present meet
ing is the inaugural conference representing this field.\n\nWe are fortu
nate to have attracted an extremely eminent range of speakers across man
y disciplines who will provide exciting visions of their own research wh
ich we expect to stimulate lively discussions leading to new research di
rections. \n\nPlaces are limited. For more information or to register pl

DESCRIPTION:Progress in biological sciences has been driven by developmen
t in optical imaging. In the early days visualizing the structure of liv
ing cells lead to enormous insights. More recently the emphasis of optic
al imaging has shifted from structural to functional imaging\, where ver
y specific biological questions can be addressed at microscopic and\, in
some cases\, nanoscopic scales. The importance of functional imaging ha
s\, of course\, been recently recognized by the award of the 2008 Nobel
Prize for Chemistry for the developments in Green Fluorescent Protein as
a unique means to spatially locate processes in cells.\nFunctional imag
ing is a highly interdisciplinary area bringing together biologists\, ch
emists\, physicists and engineers. Our institute of Biophysics\, Imaging
and Optical Science has recently been established to bring together sci
entists in these disciplines and the present meeting is the inaugural co
nference representing this field.\n\nWe are fortunate to have attracted
an extremely eminent range of speakers across many disciplines who will
provide exciting visions of their own research which we expect to stimul
ate lively discussions leading to new research directions.\n\nPlaces are
limited. For more information or to register please visit www.nottingha
m.ac.uk/ibios. If you would wish to present a research poster at our pos
ter session please e-mail abstracts to ibios@nottingham.ac.uk\n\nVisit t

DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\nPhotoacoustic tomography (PAT)\, combining optical
and ultrasonic waves via the photoacoustic effect\, provides in vivo mul
tiscale non-ionizing functional and molecular imaging. Light offers rich
tissue contrast but does not penetrate biological tissue in straight pa
ths as x-rays do. Consequently\, high-resolution pure optical imaging (e
.g.\, confocal microscopy\, two-photon microscopy\, and optical coherenc
e tomography) is limited to depths within the optical diffusion limit (~
1 mm in the skin). In PAT\, pulsed laser light penetrates the tissue and
generates a small but rapid temperature rise\, which induces emission o
f ultrasonic waves due to thermoelastic expansion. The ultrasonic waves\
, ~1000 times less scattering than optical waves in tissue\, are then de
tected to form high-resolution images at depths up to 7 cm\, breaking th
rough the optical diffusion limit. PAT is the only modality capable of i
maging across the length scales of organelles\, cells\, tissues\, and or
gans with consistent contrast. Such a technology has the potential to en
able multiscale systems biology and accelerate translation from microsco
pic laboratory discoveries to macroscopic clinical practice. PAT may als
o hold the key to the earliest detection of cancer by in vivo label-free
quantification of hypermetabolism\, the quintessential hallmark of canc
er. The technology is commercialized by several companies.\n\nBIO\nLihon

DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT - Live cell imaging with molecularly specific contra
st is a particular strength of optical microscopy\, permitting the dynam
ic observation of events at the single cell level in 4 dimensions. Optic
al microscopy based on fluorescent probes does\, however\, also have lim
itations due to the size of the probes which can inhibit biological acti
vity\, and their photochemical properties\, in particular rapid photoble
aching\, which greatly limits the window of observation. Because of thes
e limitations\, imaging of cells and tissue based on intrinsic optical p
roperties can be highly advantageous. One such contrast mechanism is ba
sed on inelastic scattering of light by molecular bonds\, which is the b
asis of Raman spectroscopy. In this webinar I will introduce some of the
techniques and applications of Raman spectroscopy and coherent Raman im
aging and will explain how these provide molecularly specific contrast i
n living cells and even in living organisms without the need for exogeno
us probes.

DESCRIPTION:Approval of multiple molecularly targeted agents for therapy
of cancer and other diseases (e.g.\, age-related macula degeneration) ha
s heralded a new era. For tumor biology\, the major challenges in the fi
eld are now how to optimally use these novel drugs as monotherapies or i
n combination with other therapies to extend the survival advantage obta
ined so far\, and how to prevent tumor recurrence. These may be best ach
ieved by bringing back and forth between bench and bedside the lessons a
nd the new concepts that emerged from the recent clinical and preclinica
l experience with molecularly targeted agents.\n\n\nThe objective of thi
s course is to discuss our current understanding of tumor microenvironme
nt\, the formation and function of new vessels in tumors\, and their rel
ationship with metastasis and outcome of various treatments. The focus w
ill be placed on their pathophysiological significance and clinical rele
vance\, with particular emphasis on clinical translation and biomarkers.

DESCRIPTION:SYNOPSIS\nMicroscopy is usually done in a laboratory on caref
ully prepared very thin samples and achieves resolutions better than mic
rometers. Medical imaging\, by contrast\, is usually performed on sizeab
le portions of the living human body\, and resolutions are rarely better
than 1 millimeter.\nOver the last decade\, there has been great progres
s in applying optical microscopy techniques to the human body in a medic
al setting. This push has been led by optical coherence tomography\, whi
ch is now in mainstream use in ophthalmology and is soon to gain accepta
nce in cardiology.\nOptical coherence tomography is an optical analog of
ultrasound – but it penetrates much less and resolves much more. In t
his talk\, I will describe how it works\, where it came from\, what it c
an do\, what limits it and where it might go. This talk takes wide aim:
at those who wish to gain a non-technical introduction to the topic\; at
new researchers in the field\; and there may even be a snippet or two f
or the OCT maestros!\n\nBIO\nWinthrop Professor Sampson is Director of t
he Centre for Microscopy\, Characterisation & Analysis\, a core facility
of the University of Western Australia\, and heads the Optical+Biomedic
al Engineering Laboratory (OBEL) in the School of Electrical\, Electroni
c & Computer Engineering. He directs the Western Australian nodes of the
Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Research Facility and Australia
’s National Imaging Facility\, and the Western Australian State Govern
ment's Centre for eMedicine. He leads the University's Bioimaging Initia
tive aimed at increasing the uptake and quality of microscopic imaging a
nd related technologies in medicine and the life sciences.\nW/Prof. Samp
son’s research interests are in biomedical optical engineering\, with
an emphasis on photonics\, imaging and microscopy. He and his team are i
nvolved in activities ranging from the invention and investigation of ne
w optical techniques\, to the engineering of these techniques into pract
ical instruments\, and their application in clinical medicine and biolog
y. A major emphasis of his research is the medical imaging modality opti
cal coherence tomography\, and he is widely known for pioneering anatomi
cal optical coherence tomography\, a version that enables dynamic 3D ima
ging of hollow organ anatomy\, and its application in human airways. His
team is extensively engaged in advancing microscope-in-a-needle technol
ogy and its application in intraoperative cancer imaging.\n

DESCRIPTION:h4. The University of California campuses\, Lawrence Livermor
e National Laboratory (LLNL)\, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
(LBNL) have formed a consortium for biophotonics research\, education a
nd development entitled the University of California Biophotonics Allian
ce (UCBA) . This consortium is coordinated by the Center for Biophotonic
s Science and Technology (CBST)\, headquartered at UC Davis in the North
ern California region\, and the Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clin
ic (BLI) at UC Irvine in the Southern California region.\n\nThe UCBA wil
l be holding a Biophotonics Industry Forum on Friday\, January 20th\, 20
12 at the Mission Bay Conference Center at UCSF in San Francisco\, CA\,
and we hope you will join us. This event will provide an opportunity to
highlight the cutting-edge biophotonics research and education programs
of the UC (UCSF\, UCB\, UCSC\, UCD\, UCM\, UCI\, UCR\, UCLA\, UCSD\, and
UCSB) and national laboratory (LLNL and LBNL) campuses to the corporate
and venture community\, as well as discuss opportunities for collaborat
ions\, with the goal of strengthening the biophotonics industry in the s
tate\nof California and beyond.\n\nThe format for the day will include:
2 keynote speakers from industry\, short research technology presentatio
ns from each consortia campus\, 3 panel sessions\, and a late afternoon
networking session. The anticipation is that the industry forum will be
a springboard for developing future university-industry interactions.\n\
