The Designated Emphasis in Biophotonics and Bioimaging has a monthly meeting where the entire community of biophotonics faculty, students and researchers can meet and discuss upcoming research in an informal, interactive setting. Each meeting is 2 hours in duration is dedicated to specific biophotonics topics, described below. These Biophotonics meetings encourage the dissemination of progress in the field and enable participants to gain a wider breadth of knowledge of the field in general.
