To obtain an overview of the field of Biophotonics and to help to overcome fragmentation PHOTONICS4LIFE prepared and set up a wiki. This database is unique in its aspect of inter-linking photonic and non-photonic technologies on one hand with biological processes and medical domains/diseases on the other hand, which is at the heart of what the P4L network wishes to achieve. It aims at encouraging scientist working in Biophotonics to identify ‘white spots’ in the field and to help bridging the communication gap between the different subdisciplines.
At the moment the Biophotonics wiki consists of more than 100 entries in five different domains:
The Wiki is open for everybody. Visitors who would like to add new database elements or update existing ones need to be logged in. Register here for a free account.
On Wednesday Italian researchers have won the first prize in the Innovation Village Awards of the Photonics Europe, the largest conference on optical research in Europe. The group from the Biophotonics network Photonics4Life beat 16 other projects in the contest with a handy device that stops bleedings with light. [more]

The aim of this school is to support early pharmaceutical research by training young post-PhD investigators, by promoting the exchange of knowledge, supporting skills and know-how and providing access to various technologies. During the course target groups of approx. 15-18 young post-PhD from all over world will brought together. [more]
