Lester Wolfe Workshops in Laser Biomedicine

The Lester Wolfe Workshop in Laser Biomedicine is a series of talks dedicated to a particular aspect in biomedical optics. The panel of speakers of the Workshop is chosen from expert researchers in academia, medical profession and industry. Held twice a year, the Lester Wolfe Workshop is sponsored by the George R. Harrison Spectroscopy Laboratory, MGH Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Harvard—MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, and CIMIT.

11/23/2010	A Scientific Tribute to Michael Feld Michael Feld was a founder of the Lester Wolfe workshops, so it is appropriate that this one be a tribute to him. It is even more appropriate to make it a workshop on laser science and biomedicine. The topics remind us both of his lasting contributions in these areas and of his talent for fostering fruitful collaborations (and friendships) across discipline boundaries.	RAMACHANDRA R.
