Biomedical Raman Imaging 2019

24-26 November 2019
Icho Kaikan, Suita Campus, Osaka University, Japan

The recent developments in Raman spectroscopy and microscopy have expanded their application into previously unexplored areas of biology, medicine, and pharmaceutical science. The notable improvements in both sensitivity and imaging speed have paved the way to apply the powerful analytical capability of Raman spectroscopy for biomedical research. Raman imaging has now become a new imaging modality that can provide molecular-level information in biological systems inaccessible by conventional optical techniques.

The aim of this symposium is to share the state-of-the-art achievements in instrumentation and applications research in biomedical Raman imaging, and to discuss the current issues and future directions. We invite scientists from all research fields to join our symposium, share our interests in biomedical Raman imaging, and help strengthen the network of all of us who are interested in pushing the boundaries of biomedical applications of Raman microscopy.
