This grant is for the purpose of advancing non-invasive optical imaging for biological systems, specifically addressing the significant challenge of light scattering. Current optical imaging techniques, while non-invasive and rapid for assessing tissue function and structure, are hindered by strong light scattering within biological tissues, severely limiting their penetration depth and resolution. This funding opportunity encourages the development of next-generation non-invasive or minimally-invasive optical imaging techniques. The core objective is to overcome these inherent issues, thereby enabling significantly deeper imaging of biological systems with high spatial and temporal resolution, ultimately improving our understanding of complex biological processes.

| Description: | The purpose of the Advancing Non-Invasive Optical Imaging Approaches for Biological Systems initiative is to overcome the problem of light scattering in biological systems. Current optical imaging techniques that are non-invasive and allow rapid assessment of tissue function and structure suffer from strong light scattering within biological tissues, limiting the penetration depth and resolution. This funding opportunity encourages development of next-generation non-invasive or minimally-invasive optical imaging techniques to overcome these issues and to allow deeper imaging of biological systems with high spatial and temporal resolution. |
