Biophotonics meets AI: transforming cancer and infection diagnostics (Keynote Presentation)
27 January 2025 • 8:20 AM - 9:00 AM PST | Moscone Center, Room 211 (Level 2 South)
Abstract
We present cutting-edge, labelfree spectroscopic approaches in the field of biophotonics for precise tumor margin control, offering a valuable solution to the challenges currently encountered in this area. Our objective is to completely remove tumors and enable reliable tumor typing and classification, allowing us to rapidly create individual treatment plans. We utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve this. In the second part of our presentation, we will demonstrate our work on the application of Raman spectroscopy for the successful treatment of infections. This includes the determination of the immune response, the rapid identification of the pathogen and its resistance pattern, as well as the response to treatment.
