The meeting will focus on the potential of Light Scattering in the detection of biological agents, on novel detection systems using polarized light scattering, imaging (microscopy), inelastic scattering, absorption and emission over all EM spectral regions, and will propose a research agenda for the next five years. We aim to bring together researchers from different fields (physics, biophysics, microbiology, cytology, etc) to foster the flow of information between these diverse groups of researchers. Most of all, we hope that the workshop results in new collaborations that will improve research efficiency.
