Bio photonics and Biomedical Optics

Biophotonics is referred to as the study of optical processes in biological systems, which occurs naturally in bioengineered materials. One of the most important aspects of this field is the imaging and sensing of cells and tissues. This includes injecting fluorescent markers into a biological system to track cell dynamics and drug delivery. Biophotonics can be used to study biological materials or materials with properties similar to biological material, i.e., scattering material, on a microscopic or macroscopic scale. On the microscopic scale, common applications include microscopy and optical coherence tomography. On the macroscopic scale, the light is diffuse and applications commonly deal with diffuse optical imaging and tomography (DOI and DOT). Biomedical optics focus to solve pressing problems on medicine and biology by designing and applying advanced optical techniques. Biometric optics is a widely collaborated topic in universities that occurs between many departments, centres and researchers.
