This biannual conference, the first in 1989, is intended to reflect the ernormous progress made in one of the most powerful spectroscopic methods. In fact, fluorescence has found widespread applications in life sciences where it complements (and competes with) nmr spectroscopy. The impressive progress made in fluorescence in the past and at the present is mainly driven by exciting new developments in spectroscopy, probe design, microscopy/imaging, and data acquisition and processing.
MAF conferences bring together speakers, contributors, attendands and exhibitors from areas including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, pharma sciences, (bio)informatics, materials and polymer sciences, (bio)analytical sciences, and opto-electronics, to mention a few. Thus MAF conference series reflects - in a unique way - the multidisciplinarity of fluorescence, and at the same time assists fluorescence cross-talk in the word's best meaning.
