The Optical Probes Conference: Discovery to Application

Federation Of Amer Soc For Exper Biology, Bethesda MD

Investigators

Abstract

Abstract The discovery of novel optical probes underpins myriad biological imaging approaches and assay technologies. This conference will explore the latest advances in the development of probes for elucidating biological processes. We aim to bring together researchers in the fields of chemistry, spectroscopy, molecular sensing, biological imaging and advanced imaging technologies in order to foster new national and international collaborative projects. We also want to encourage and support junior investigators/trainees, women and minority scientists to launch innovative molecular probes and enhance our ability as a community to collectively tackle challenging biomedical questions. This conference will bring together scientists engaged in a wide range of probe development and application efforts. Speakers and attendees will include a broad community of synthetic/ physical organic chemists, protein design experts, and biology/biophysics-oriented scientists.
