On 28 September 2022 during the World Moleucular Imaging Congress (WMIC) 2022, TUM Coordinator, Prof. Vasilis Ntziachristos, ran an Interest Group Workshop on “Advances in Optical and Optoacoustic Interventional Imaging“. The purpose of the workshop and of WMIC, which was hosted in Miami this year, is to bring people from across the globe who represent the entire spectrum of Molecular Imaging. These individuals gather at WMIC to exchange ideas and foster innovation. The scientific and educational sessions are replete with leaders in the field and young scientists alike, each of whom has made significant contributions to our understanding of biology, advanced technology innovation, and/or evaluated new developments in the clinic. The WMIC is organized by the World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS).
