BIOPHOTONICS IMAGING LABORATORY

Imaging Life with Light, not Labels

LED BY PROF. STEPHEN BOPPART, THE BIOPHOTONICS IMAGING LABORATORY IS DEDICATED
TO DEVELOPING NOVEL LABEL-FREE OPTICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES AND TRANSLATING
THESE INTO CLINICAL APPLICATIONS AND FOR BIOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.

BIOPHOTONICS IS AN EXCITING FIELD THAT INVESTIGATES FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND
DEVELOPS NEW OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY FOR THE INTERACTION OF LIGHT OR PHOTONS WITH
BIOLOGICAL ORGANISMS, TISSUES, CELLS, AND MOLECULES.
