This Biophotonics seminar is the third organised by the
Scottish Optoelectronics Association. The previous two saw a large attendance
in this exciting new area that is developing at the interface between
optoelectronics and biotechnology.
The SOA is pleased to be working with Medical Devices in
Scotland and IEEE LEOS, to give you the chance to get an insight into the
opportunities in this technology, hear some of the exciting new developments
and to engage with leading researchers and dynamic companies.
In addition the Innovation Relay Centre for Scotland (IRC
Scotland) will host a Partner Brokerage Event during the seminar providing
attendees with an opportunity to meet leading multinationals, universities and
innovative SMEs in the photonics, medical, biotechnology and biophotonics
sectors.
