São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Modern Topics in Biophotonics


The School aims to give attendees an understanding of the subject area from fundamental to applied and translational science. It is targeted at post graduation students and early career researchers (post-doctorate).

The event will be attended by renowned speakers from around the world, making the event an environment for the exchange of scientific ideas and technological advances in the fields of biomedical optics and closely related areas. Attendees will have the opportunity to present their research results in poster sessions.

The official language of the School will be English and no simultaneous translation will be available.
