The Integrated Development of Biophotonics: Photodynamic Medicine as A Start

摘要

Biophotonics deals with the interactions of light and biological tissues. This enabling technology provides unprecedented opportunities for basic biological research, clinical medicine, pharmaceutical technology, agriculture, food and environmental sciences. In short, biophotonics is a key technology that can bridge many technologies. It is more than an end toward itself. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, its successful implementation critically relies on close collaboration among scientists from various disciplines.
