Optics and photonics have paved the way for progress in many realms of modern medicine and biology. Advances in microscopy were and are driven by the needs of the life sciences. Minimally invasive surgery is only possible through the use of advanced lasers and compact imaging systems. Noninvasive monitoring of essential bodily functions such as glucose sensing will most likely be one of the strongest growing applications of optical sensors. In basic research as well as drug discovery optical technologies have become essential. Progress in genomics and proteomics relies on novel and massively parallel optical methods for the detection of biochemical reactions. Nano-photonics is the key for advances in the field of high-throughput screening.
