The Biomedical Optics Lab was excited to attend SPIE Photonics West 2026, one of the world’s leading conferences in optics and photonics!
It was a fantastic opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research, explore emerging technologies in biomedical imaging and photonics, and connect with researchers, industry leaders, and collaborators from around the globe.
We’re inspired by the innovative work showcased at the conference and look forward to bringing new ideas and collaborations back to our lab.
