What is Biophotonics?
νν BiophotonicsBiophotonics is the science of generating and is the science of generating and harnessing light (photons) to image, detect and harnessing light (photons) to image, detect and manipulate biological materials.manipulate biological materials.
νν BiophotonicsBiophotonics is used in is used in BIOLOGYBIOLOGY to probe for to probe for molecular mechanisms, function and structure. molecular mechanisms, function and structure. It is used in It is used in MEDICINEMEDICINE to study tissue and to study tissue and blood at the macro (largeblood at the macro (large--scale) and micro scale) and micro (very small scale) organism level to detect, (very small scale) organism level to detect, diagnose and treat diseases in a way that are diagnose and treat diseases in a way that are nonnon--invasive to the body. invasive to the body.

Anton Van Leeuwenhoek observed bacteria, yeast and other living microorganisms under the microscope.
1665
Robert Hooke observed cells under the microscope.
Charles A. SpencerNew York, 19th Century
“With Spencer's glasses I was able, without difficulty, to see the cross lines on the Naviculahippocampus, while with Chevalier's, by the same light, I could see them only with great difficulty.”J.W. Bailey

DNA-based Testing
ν Presymptomatic testing for predicting adult-onset disorders (e.g., Huntington's disease)
ν Presymptomatic testing for estimating the risk of developing adult-onset cancers and Alzheimer's disease
ν Confirmational diagnosis of a symptomatic individual (e.g., Factor V Leiden)
DNA based testing
ν Prenatal diagnostic testing (e.g., Cystic Fibrosis)
ν Newborn screening
ν Embryos Screening (pre-implantation)
DNA based testing
ν Carrier screening - identify unaffected individuals who carry one copy of a gene
ν Forensic/identity testing (i.e., paternity test)

Myotonic dystrophy (MD; progressive muscle weakness; most common form of adult muscular dystrophy) Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1; multiple benign nervous system tumors that can be disfiguring; cancers)
Phenylketonuria (PKU; progressive mental retardation due to missing enzyme; correctable by diet) Adult Polycystic Kidney Disease (APKD; kidney failure and liver disease)
Prader Willi/Angelman syndromes (PW/A; decreased motor skills, cognitive impairment, early death) Sickle cell disease (SS; blood cell disorder; chronic pain and infections)
Spinocerebellar ataxia, type 1 (SCA1; involuntary muscle movements, reflex disorders, explosive speech) Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA; severe, usually lethal progressive muscle-wasting disorder in children)
Thalassemias (THAL; anemias - reduced red blood cell levels) Tay-Sachs Disease (TS; fatal neurological disease of early childhood; seizures, paralysis) [3/99]
