From January 27th to 31st, 2024, SPIE Photonics West convened in San Francisco, USA, solidifying its status as the premier gathering for biomedical optics and biophotonic technologies. Among the notable contributors were researchers from the Advance Imaging Group in Brussels, who delivered five oral presentations during the parallel sessions.
Sophie Hernot captivated audiences with her presentation on Nanobody-based fluorescent contrast agents, demonstrating their efficacy for rapid and precise intra-operative tumor visualization.
Thomas Van Den Dries unveiled his groundbreaking work on a compact sub-nanosecond time-gated camera, leveraging a cutting-edge 128×128 Current-Assisted Photonic Sampler (CAPS) for macroscale fluorescence lifetime imaging in pre-clinical settings.
Pooria Iranian showcased in two presentations, the innovative advancements in fluorescence lifetime endoscopy, introducing a novel nanosecond time-gated CAPS camera. Second, he shared sequential RGB+NIR fluorescence lifetime imaging techniques with a single device.
Simone Janssen presented the first preclinical in vivo and ex vivo results, highlighting a novel macroscale time-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging system's ability to differentiate between tumor and healthy tissue.
Collectively, their contributions underscored the efficacy of Nanobodies as optical molecular tracers and emphasized the ongoing advancements and promising prospects in Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging.
