The #SPIEBiOS Student 3-Minute Poster Presentations brought rapid-fire research to the Career Hub Stage at #PhotonicsWest, judged by editors from #SPIE_JBO, #Neurophotonics, and #BiophotonicsDiscovery. Congrats to all the presenters! 🎉

Congrats to Guosong Hong, a/prof @[email protected], on receiving the inaugural #BiophotonicsDiscovery Impact of the Year Award! Hong is honored for achieving optical transparency in live animals via absorbing dyes, a transformative advance in #biophotonics. 💡 spie.org/news/stanfor...

Some topics don’t get the attention they deserve, and our Sunday evening Biophotonics Focus plenary session is changing that! ✨ Anita Mahadevan-Jansen introduces this year’s topic: Light-based Technologies for Reproductive, Maternal, & Neonatal Health. #BiophotonicsDiscovery #PhotonicsWest

How do you make radiation therapy visible? 💡 Brian Pogue, President and Co‑Founder of DoseOptics LLC, explains DoseOptics’ journey to a simple, powerful idea: show the beam so therapists can verify treatment in real time. Read the full #BiophotonicsDiscovery article here: https://bit.ly/4pzg3DL

Wearable sensors often struggle to deliver accurate readings across diverse skin tones, a gap that impacts both consumer devices & clinical care. Researchers at Brown University present a solution: polarized light. 💡 Read the #BiophotonicsDiscovery article: https://bit.ly/49betSw.

🧠 Researchers from @ucirvine.bsky.social & @ucsandiego.bsky.social introduce a cost-efficient method to investigate cellular morphology changes in response to mechanical stress by combining LIS + quantitative phase microscopy. #OpenAccess #BiophotonicsDiscovery paper here: https://bit.ly/4aNsyYv 💡

🩸 Researchers at @duke-university.bsky.social are using GPUs + Quantitative Phase Microscopy (QPM) to study blood cells in real time. QPM uses optical holography to measure cell shape + size without dyes, giving clearer insights. Read the #BiophotonicsDiscovery article here: https://bit.ly/4owDoWe

💡 Imagine checking blood pressure without the squeeze of a cuff! Researchers from @bostonu.bsky.social & Boston Medical Center are using light signals from skin to track blood flow. This could make monitoring hypertension easier. #JustPublished in #BiophotonicsDiscovery: https://bit.ly/4otBDca
