Overordnede kursusmål:
Optical methods and instruments based on light interacting with tissue have emerged as powerful techniques for bio-medical diagnostics, monitoring wide spectra of tissue function and pathology together with therapy. The purpose of the Biophotonics school is to provide education at the highest international level within these areas. The school Biophotonics'11 covers the following main areas: - lasers and their applications in medicine - tissue optics - photodynamic therapy - optical tweezers and their applications in biophotonics - photo-acoustic imaging - molecular imaging based on optical methods - nanoscopy for cell imaging (STED) - optical coherence tomography and coherence domain optical methods in biomedicine.
At the summer school invited experts, at an international level, will give extended presentations reviewing these areas. Moreover, the attendees at the summer school will also have the opportunity of presenting their current research at the poster sessions (mandatory).
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
knowlegde of light-tissue interactions and tissue optics
knowledge of diffuse optical tomography and spectroscopy
knowledge of optical coherence tomography
knowledge of photo-acoustic imaging
knowledge of stimulated emission depletion microscopy (nanoscopy)
knowledge of molecular imaging
knowledge of photodynamic therapy
knowledge of light sources for biomedical optics.
Kursusindhold:
The course is conducted as a Ph.D. summer school of one week duration at an external conference center outside DTU campus. See the homepage for the current or previous course: http://www.biop.dk/biophotonics11/. The course is offered in odd years only.
