IPOS Symposium: Biophotonics
1 – 2 July 2010
The IPOS Symposium: Biophotonics is a two-day meeting with academic speakers.
A vibrant, multi-disciplinary symposium, bringing together researchers working in fibre and planar biophotonics with researchers in the biological and health sciences. Invited speakers give two talks; the first talk a "big picture" overview of the field as you see it, to a broad audience, and the second a much more technical talk on a specific topic.
Time: 1 – 2 July 9.30am - 6.00pm
Location 1 July: MacLaurin Hall, The Main Quadrangle
Location 2 July: School of Physics, LT4
