This involves scientists and engineers working closely with biologists and clinicians to deliver optical solutions to complex bio-related issues. The solutions may be in the form of enhanced imaging capabilites for observing biological structure and processes, or optical manipulation within biological environments, or creating biological nanomachines for specified tasks.
