FOI 2011: Functional Optical Imaging, Nigbo, China 3-4 December 2011

Functional imaging is a highly interdisciplinary area bringing together biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers. FOI '11 will discuss new techniques for in-vivo and in-vitro imaging addressing high profile questions in the biomedical sciences such as cell signalling. These include superresolution and approaches to extract maximum information at minimal photon load, processing approaches to maximise information content and novel electronics for label free imaging.

Our conference on Functional Optical Imaging will take place on the 3rd and 4th December 2011 at the University of Nottingham’s China campus in Ningbo. It was felt opportune to hold the conference at the University of Nottingham’s China Campus in Ningbo to acknowledge the increasingly important role of bio-imaging research in the Far East. We are fortunate to have attracted an extremely eminent range of speakers across many disciplines who will provide exciting visions of their own research which we expect to stimulate lively discussions leading to new research directions.
