Knowledge Management
Knowledge management is one of the core activities of Photonics4Life especially due to the strong interdependence of the different subdisciplines of Biophotonics. The objectives of the knowledge management centre are to enable, facilitate and stimulate information sharing, networking and e-collaboration [more]
Bridging the Gap
Communication barriers between the different disciplines working in Biophotonics are the main hurdle for better health care applications and methods.The main goal of the network is therefore to improve the connection to the biomedical end-user (biologists and physicians) to break down these barriers.

International Contacts
The importance of Biophotonics has been realized all over the world. Typical of the field is its strong dynamics rendering the knowledge of international developments inside and outside of Europe in their earliest stages of utmost importance. [more]
Ethics
Regulatory and ethical issues are substantially important points that have to be considered at all stages of development especially when new tools and technologies arrive at the stage of clinical testing [more]
Gender issues
Participants in PHOTONICS4LIFE are committed to promote equality of opportunity in all stages of P4L activities. Therefore, rules for equal treatment of men and women in all stages of P4L have been established, ranging from recruitment to training. [more]

A New Look Inside the Body – Better Communication in Biophotonics
13 May 2013Over the last years optical technologies have become a vital tool for innovating clinical diagnostics and are thus opening markets for photonics. Technologies like second harmonic generation or two-photon microscopy give new insights into abnormal changes in human morphology and can thereby often identify diseases better than techniques that don’t employ light.

Events
3rd Annual Workshop on Spectroscopic Imaging
May 23 - May 24 2013 , West Lafayette, United States
Leaders and experts will introduce various modalities of nonlinear optical microscopy and their integration on a single platform. Cutting-edge developments and applications will be shown by lectures on May 23 at Purdue University. Hands-on training will be provided on May 24 to assist the trainees in building or using different modalities of nonlinear optical microscopy. As an optional opportunity, the trainees can test their own samples on the morning of May 25. A poster session will be arranged for participants to exchange their own research. [more]
