Industrial workshop: Visions for future Diagnostics

Biophotonics is a strongly growing discipline. However, the transfer of scientific
knowledge into industrial products is hindered by a missing mutual understanding
of users' needs and technical possibilities. To help overcome this barrier, physicians
will present their typical requirements in Oncology: Techniques for advanced cancer diagnostics, including improved typing, staging and grading of tumors. The aim of the workshops is to breakdown these requirements into defined "request chains" including full solutions, subsystems and components.

Agenda (10.00 am - 2.30 pm):

1) 10.00 Introduction: Prof. Jürgen Popp (IPHT Jena /Univ. Jena)
