International Congress on Biophotonics (1st) (ICOB 2008). Held in Sacramento, California on February 3-7, 2008

Abstract

The NSF Center for Biophotonics Science & Technology (CBST) of UC Davis hosted the 1st International Congress on Biophotonics (ICOB) on February 3 7, 2008 in Sacramento, California. The purpose of the meeting was to gather thought leaders from around the world, representing academia (researchers and educators), industry, medicine, and government agencies to create a strategic roadmap for the future of biophotonics research, technology development and education. The rationale for the meeting was the need for a strategic roadmap to provide guidance and direction to further biophotonic science and technology development into those areas of greatest need for creative and innovative solutions to grand challenges in the life sciences and medicine. ICOB was also a venue to present and expand upon www.BioPhotonicsWorld.org , a web based portal to serve as a virtual community for all biophotonics stakeholders , that was developed and launched in September 2007 by CBST and the Canadian Institute for Photonic Innovations, (CIPI)
