• All clearances, including government and company clearance, have been obtained to present and publish. If you are a DoD contractor, allow at least 60 days for clearance.

• For technical review purposes, please submit a text abstract no longer than 250 words that is suitable for publication. Accepted abstracts may be published with the printed Technical Program for distribution at the meeting.

• Please also submit a 100-word text abstract suitable for early release. If accepted, this abstract text will be published prior to the meeting in the online or printed programs promoting the conference.

• A short paper/summary (minimum 3 pages) for any ac-cepted oral or poster presentation will be submitted by 19 September 2016 for publication in the Proceedings of SPIE in the SPIE Digital Library. Posters authors may upload a PDF of their poster in addition to or in lieu of their paper submission.

PREPARE TO SUBMIT:• Have all contact information (full names, affiliations, ad-

dresses, phone numbers, and emails) for your coauthors ready.

• Only original material should be submitted.

• Abstracts should contain enough detail to clearly convey the approach and the results of the research.

• Commercial abstracts,abstracts with no new research/development content, and abstracts where supporting data or a technical description cannot be given for pro-prietary reasons will not be accepted for presentation in this conference.

SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT ONLINE:• On the conference Call for Papers page (http://spie.org/

BAU/conferencedetails/biophotonics-australasia) click the “Submit an abstract” link.

• You will be prompted to sign in to the SPIE.org system and follow the submission wizard. If you have a an SPIE.org account, sign in using your username and password. First-time users of SPIE.org can create a new account by clicking on the “create new account link”.

• Follow the submission wizard and input your co-authors, 100-word and 250-word text abstracts.

AUTHORS NEEDING A VISA TO ATTEND Individuals requiring Letters of Acceptance to obtain travel visas to attend are advised to submit their abstracts early.

The organizing committee will review to determine acceptance. Once this is complete, you will receive an early notification regarding your submission schedule in June 2016.

16-19 OCT•

REVIEW, NOTIFICATION, PROGRAM PLACEMENT• To ensure a high-quality conference, all abstracts will

be reviewed by the Conference Chair/Editor for tech-nical merit and suitability of content. The Conference Chairs and Committee reserve the right to reject for presentation any abstract that does not meet content or presentation expectations. SPIE’s decision on whether to accept a presentation is final.

• The Contact Author will be notified of abstract accep-tance by e-mail no later than 20 June 2016.

• Final placement in an oral or poster session is subject to the Chairs’ discretion.

INFORMATION ON THE PROCEEDINGS OF SPIE IN THE SPIE DIGITAL LIBRARY• Manuscripts will be Chair/Editor-reviewed and pub-

lished in the Proceedings of SPIE in the SPIE Digital Library.

• Manuscript instructions will be e-mailed to the contact author and are also available from the “For Authors/Presenters” link on the conference website.

• Authors must be authorized to transfer copyright of the manuscript to SPIE, or provide a suitable publication license.

• Only papers presented at the conference and received according to publication guidelines and timelines will be published in the conference Proceedings in the SPIE Digital Library.

• SPIE partners with relevant scientific databases to en-able researchers to find the papers in the Proceedings of SPIE easily. The databases that abstract and index these papers include Astrophysical Data System (ADS), Chemical Abstracts (relevant content), Ei Compendex, CrossRef, Current Contents, DeepDyve, Google Scholar, Inspec, Portico, Scopus, SPIN, and Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index.

At its heart, SPIE BioPhotonics Australasia will provide an opportunity for a broad-ranging explo-ration of the use of interactions between light and biological systems, and applications of these approaches to provide advances in biomedicine and imaging.

SPIE BioPhotonics Australasia will connect people across scientific disciplines. The meeting will incorporate presentation and discussion of science in plenaries, themed sessions, speed science discussions, and industry engagement forums. The meeting will engage trainees to researcher leaders, chemists to biologists to clinicians to physicists, and academics, industry, and policy makers. A goal of this meeting will be for every attendee to have had the opportunity to engage one-on-one with someone outside their science discipline and outside their respective industry (academia/industry/policy). Many new transdisciplinary and translational collaborations and long-lived friendships will be forged.

Papers will be accepted in the following three broad areas:

• BioPhotonics Generating and harnessing light to image and sense; detect and manipulate biological

systems.

• Medical Imaging Fluorescent nanomaterials have enormous potential as nanoscale light sources and sensors

operating as beacons within biological environments. These are changing the way biological systems can be studied and stretching the fundamental limits of detection.

• Fibre Sensing Advanced optical fibres have the ability to change the way in which light is delivered

to/from nano-environments.
