Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

Near infrared tissue spectroscopy (NIRS) is a rapidly growing sub-filed of biophotonics with unique applications in both research and patient management. NIRS takes advantage of (1) the relative transparency of living tissue to near infrared (NIR) light to probe deep laying tissue beds such as the adult brain, and (2) differences in the absorption features of important biomarkers of tissue...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

The most abundant protein on earth, collagen, forms the basis of our connective tissues and the extracellular matrix that surrounds our cells. It performs important structural and mechanical roles, holding our bodies together and helping our tissues to withstand a wide variety of forces. Surprisingly, collagen proteins are structurally unstable at body temperature.

In this talk, which will...
