Since the 17th century, when people first observed the tiny world through polished optical lenses and recorded their observations in micrographs, imaging has remained a central focus driving the development of numerous technologies and advancements. Several Nobel Prizes have been awarded for different imaging techniques aimed at enhancing our ability to "see" and understand the world, including cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), super-resolved fluorescence microscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Bio-imaging is a vital component of modern healthcare, as it enables the visualization, diagnosis, and treatment of various diseases and conditions. Bio-imaging ranges from the simple heart rate monitor on smartwatches to multi-million-dollar machines like MRI, fMRI, PET, and everything in between (microscopes, photoacoustics, ultrasound, portable x-rays, etc.). We will explore bio-imaging's current and future directions and foster interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and industry partners. The main topics include (1) emerging technologies and applications of bio-imaging for digital health, (2) translating bio-imaging from bench to bedside, and (3) practices of commercializing bio-imaging technologies.
Students and postdocs are also invited to attend, with the chance to participate in poster sessions and flash talks. Breakfast, coffee, & lunch will be provided.
