Shining a Light on the Future of Biophotonics

Welcome to the City of Light. Welcome to #ICOB2024 in Jena.

Thank you for joining us at the 7th International Congress on Biophotonics (ICOB 2024) in Jena, Germany from 3 – 7 March 2024. This interdisciplinary event brought together the most important figures in the field of biophotonics, including researchers, technologists, industry representatives, medical professionals, and policymakers. Together, we discussed perspectives and trends, and paved the way for future developments in this exciting field.

One of the main focuses of ICOB 2024 was the translation of research results into market-ready solutions and products for applications in the life sciences. With around 350 participants, this event was the perfect opportunity to network with peers and learn about the latest developments in biophotonics.

ICOB 2024 was organized by the Leibniz Institute for Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in cooperation with the German Society for Biophotonics and Laser Medicine (DGLM), and presented by Biophotonics4Future. ICOB 2024 was host for the X. International Conference on Perspectives in Vibrational Spectroscopy (ICOPVS-2024) for the first time in Europe.
