Dates: 22-24 September 2010
Venue: Hotel Chateau Laurier, Quebec City, Canada
The second edition of Frontiers in Neurophotonics was organized jointly by the University of Bordeaux and Laval University to foster scientific exchanges between Neurobiologists and Physicists sharing interest in Biophotonics.
Following up on the highly successful first meeting in Bordeaux (2008), the second edition took place in Quebec City, the historical French gateway to North-America.
