ournal of Biophotonics is the first international journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews from the exciting field of biophotonics, i.e. the development and application of photonic technologies in particular for (bio)medicine, but also life- and environmental sciences. The journal offers a platform where technology developers (physicists, chemists, engineers, etc.) communicate with endusers (in particular research clinicians) and where the clinical practitioner learns about the latest tools for the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. As such, the journal is highly interdisciplinary, publishing innovative research in the field of light interaction with biological material. The coverage extends from fundamental research to specific developments, while also including the latest applications or clinical trials/case reports
