About biophotonics
Biophotonics, for example the use of lasers, optics and spectroscopy in the biomedical disciplines for development of advanced diagnostics and treatment methods, is a research area which has experienced an explosive development since its start in the beginning of the 1980´ies. The field is truely interdisciplinary and a strong collaboration between physics, engineering and the medical sciences is necessary. Lund researchers were among the earliest in this area, and the efforts have also led to industrialization and impact on healthcare.
