Project description

Biophotonics is aimed at making progress in life sciences through the development and application of novel photonic technologies. Optical molecular microscopy is an important biophotonics subarea with a wide range of applications. This project is therefore focused on developing novel advanced microscopy methods, as well as their application to pharmaceutical and biomedical problems.
