Key Secrets of Biospectroscopy
As biomedical researchers and clinicians continue to look for better ways to analyze complex processes, spectroscopy becomes an increasingly useful tool -- and this webcast will demonstrate why. Spectroscopy underpins many of the most promising approaches to early cancer diagnosis, drug development, and other critical life sciences applications -- as well as noninvasive alternatives to traditional methods of detecting various medical conditions. The discussion will explore key spectroscopic methods (including Raman, near infrared, and more) and technologies involved in detecting cellular and sub-cellular changes that indicate disease and guide treatment.

Practical Applications of OCT
This webcast - featuring specialists who have led the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for life sciences - provides the opportunity to understand how OCT is enabling progress in a wide variety of medical applications.

We'll discuss OCT image-guided breast-cancer surgery; small animal imaging for applications in developmental biology; and OCT extensions for quantitative phase microscopy. We'll also cover applications in ophthalmic imaging such as retina structural and functional characterization, and anterior segment imaging.

The experts will talk about their experiences with the technology, and then field questions from the audience.

State of the Art in CARS Microscopy - Technologies & Applications
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman-scattering (CARS) microscopy has gained a strong following in clinical and biological research circles in recent years, thanks to improvements in detection sensitivity, better understanding of contrast mechanisms, and the development of new laser sources that enable CARS to provide noninvasive 3-D imaging of live cells. Sunney Xie and his research group at Harvard have pioneered the development and application of CARS, which allows imaging of live cells and tissues based on vibrational spectroscopy with high sensitivity. Xie has coauthored over 110 research papers and holds three US patents.

In his hour-long webcast on April 17, Prof. Xie will provide an overview of CARS technology and applications, with particular emphasis on the many advantages this technique brings to tissue imaging, metabolite imaging, and imaging of brain tumors.
