Aston University<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aston University is one of the largest photonics research centres in the UK, and Prof. Meglinski will be in charge of providing a theoretical framework for modelling of VVBs interaction with turbid tissue. This will be essential for designing the experimental systems and understanding the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

University of Oulu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The University of Oulu has developed a novel digital histopathology tool that will be enhanced by the addition of the breakthrough OMS-MEMS devices to enable multidimensional pathology. The Biophotonics group in Oulu will be important in bridging the gap between the pathologists and the optical technology developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
