报告摘要：The 2015 United Nations International Year of Light & Light-Based Technologies recognizes the importance of optical sciences and technologies across many fields: communications, manufacturing, defense & security, environment, culture, green energy, and life sciences & medicine. This last area of application - biophotonics - has emerged rapidly over the past few decades, driven by new photonics technologies and by advances on molecular sciences. It spans analytic techniques for biology, as well as clinical diagnostics that exploit the many advantages of optical imaging and spectroscopy. It also includes novel light-based therapeutics and the use of optical imaging/spectroscopy to guide surgery and other medical interventions. Biophotonics includes not only instrumentation (hardware and software) but also light-based materials (wetware and bioware).The future of biophotonics will continue to be driven by advances in photonics technologies such as ultrashort pulsed lasers and non-linear optical materials, by convergence with other scientific and technological fields, including nanotechnology, robotics, computer/information sciences and bio-imaging, and by current and emerging unmet medical needs such as global health (point-of-care) and personalized medicine.Hence, there opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaborations and increasing need for training of multidisciplinary scientists and technologists.
