BRICS Workshop on Biophotonics IV will be held in combined mode – on-line and off-line, and aimed to bring together scientists, engineers and clinical researchers from the BRICS countries of various fields of science involved in the application of optics, photonics and imaging technologies to solve urgent problems of biology and medicine. The forum's scope ranges from basic research to instrumentation, preclinical and clinical research, mainly in those areas where researchers from the BRICS countries are world leaders. The topics are extensive and will cover (but are not limited to) the following:
- Optical Interactions in Tissue and Cells
- Biomedical Spectroscopy, Microscopy and Imaging
- Advanced Optical Techniques for Clinical Medicine
- Multimodal Biomedical Imaging
- Nanobiophotonics
- Photonic Therapeutics, Diagnostics and Instrumentations
- Tissue Optical Clearing and Drug Delivery
- Antimicrobial and Antivirus Phototherapies
Official language of the meeting is English.
Conference papers will be published as:
- Optics & Spectroscopy – Special section on Biophotonics (Russian or English)
Submission deadline: 25 November 2025
Daria K. Tuchina, Kirill I. Zaytsev, Nikita V. Chernomyrdin, Egor V. Yakovlev, Irina N. Dolganova
