The goal of this conference is to present novel state-of-the-art work in non-invasive spectroscopic methods to detect the onset and progression of disease, including pre-malignancy and malignancy, and intra-operatively, and tissue and cells response to external conditions, including therapeutic intervention, unintended injury, and laser energy deposition. The conference will focus on work investigating the differences in single and multiphoton excitation optical signatures of normal and diseased tissues, and on understanding the underlying biochemical and structural changes of tissues and cells responsible for the observed spectroscopic signatures. It is worth noting that this symposium has hosted in recent years a number of contributions on the detection of disease using optical spectroscopy signatures of body fluids such as urine or blood plasma. As the field of metabolomics continues to grow, it is possible that “optical metabolomics” maybe a new frontier in the field of Optical Biopsy.

This conference covers a wide array of well-established optical techniques and novel approaches to diagnose tissues changes, including: in vivo and ex vivo fluorescence spectroscopy, Stokes shift spectroscopy, spectral imaging, Raman spectroscopy, multiphoton and photonic methods to modify the tissue and body fluids properties or functions implemented in vivo or ex-vivo covering the technology development steps from bench-to-bedside. Compact pill smart spectral explorers, multi-spectral imagers, coherence effects, and hyper spectral imaging will be highlighted and covered, in part, by speakers.
