Neurophotonics in Medicine, Symposium on October 30
Neurophotonics in Medicine, Symposium
Hosted by the Neurophotonics Center and the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine
Boston University
Monday Oct 30, 3-5 pm,
72 East Concord Street, RM R115 (enter through the Instructional (L) Building).
Room: R115
Come participate in the first of what will be an annual symposium highlighting the neurophotonic collaborations happening between CRC and MED. Come and catch up with colleagues and meet new ones and join in the discussion and perhaps form new collaborations. This year, the Neurophotonics Center is sponsoring the CAN-DO (Collaborative Award for Neurophotonics DevelOpment) to encourage and support new collaborative projects, particularly between the campuses. Come and learn about this opportunity. You can also learn more here.
