24 November 2025 @ EPFL Neuchâtel

We invite all those working in the area of biomedical photonics (medicine, biology, physics, computer science, engineering and industry) to attend the yearly meeting of the Biomedical Photonics Network (bmpn). The meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for the participants (young researchers are particularly welcome) to present their research and build personal contacts. The meeting language is English.

Abstracts for oral and poster presentations are accepted as pdf or MS word files and include: Title, authors, affiliation, abstract text (< 250 words), indication of preference (oral/poster) and age of the presenter.
Please send your abstracts by November 2nd, 2025 to Prof. Martin Wolf (Martin.Wolf@usz.ch).

Award: Participants ≤ 35 years of age may compete for an award for the best oral or poster presentation. Therefore please indicate the age of the presenting person on the abstract. 

Registration is mandatory: Please register by November 10th, 2025.
