DESCRIPTION:Biological processes show extreme complexity orchestrated both 
 in space and time. To face this complexity\, it has been necessary\, as po
 inted out by R.Y. Tsien in his lecture "Unlocking Cell Secrets with Light 
 Beams and Molecular Spies" (Heineken Prize for Biochemistry and Biophysics
 \, 2002)\, to develop fluorescent spies in order to analyze\, quantify in 
 real time and decrypt very sophisticated cellular mechanisms. The recent e
 xplosion of fluorescent biosensors development opens a new field of invest
 igation by allowing the analysis of extremely specific biological events a
 t the level of cellular organelles\, individual cells\, tissues and even e
 ntire living organisms in physiological and pathological conditions. The d
 evelopment and the use of these tools require solving a number of conceptu
 al\, experimental and technological problems concerning both the biosensor
 s themselves and the tools to follow them. Equally important\, a range of 
 new developments including optogenetic and optochemical tools allow system
 atic perturbation of biochemical processes while they are read out by opti
 cal biosensors.\n\nThe purpose of this conference is to gather and consoli
 date the expertise in the field of biosensors and to promote the reflectio
 n and the exchange of information so as to accelerate the development of t
 hese new dynamic imaging approaches in all areas of biology and biomedical
  sciences.\n\n•	Early Bird: 2 October 2018\n•	Late Registration: 31 Oc
