Fast-approaching, China-based conference to focus on biomedical imaging

Functional Optical Imaging 2011 (FOI 2011), to be held December 3–4, 2011, at the Ningbo, China campus of the University of Nottingham (Nottingham, England), will acknowledge the increasingly important role of biomedical imaging research in the Far East. Organized by the University of Nottingham’s Institute of Biophysics, Imaging and Optical Science (IBIOS), the conference will target new techniques for in-vivo and in-vitro imaging, including super-resolution microscopy and approaches to maximize information content and novel electronics for label-free imaging.

Confirmed speakers across many disciplines include:

*Professor Alberto Diaspro, director of the Department of Nanophysics, Italian Institute of Technology, and professor of Applied Physics, University of Genoa (Italy)
