Software for modeling and data analysis is concerned with supporting the development and adaptation of software for preprocessing and processing of data collected by Biophotonic tools. This software must be able to filter the part of the recorded data that is either unwanted or unnecessary and extract and decipher the information containing part.
Highly-sophisticated software is needed, e.g. due to the immense increase of data while moving from conventional 2D-microscopy to time resolved 3D-spectroscopy and especially because the information that is handled is usually of vital interest. Therefore Photonics4Life aims at collecting information about existing software packages and their evaluation and benchmarking. Besides identifying superior algorithms also concepts for the adaptation of algorithms/methods successfully employed in related scientific areas (e.g. for pattern recognition) will be a subject for the network.
Over 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.

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]
