NSF Funding Opportunity - Biophotonics

The goal of the Biophotonics Program is to continue exploitation of the power of photonics to advance biomedical engineering. Developing molecularly specific sensing, imaging, and monitoring systems with high optical sensitivity, and resolution would be an enormous accomplishment with powerful applications to both biology and medicine. Low cost diagnostics will require novel integration of photonics, molecular biology, and material science. Complex biosensors capable of detecting and discriminating among large classes of biomolecules could be important not only to biology and medicine, but also to environmental sensing and homeland defense.
