Professor Juergen Popp, Chair of Physical Chemistry at FSU University Jena, Scientific Director of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology. Juergen Popp studied chemistry at the universities of Erlangen and Würzburg. After his PhD in Chemistry he joined Yale University for postdoctoral work. He subsequently returned to Würzburg University where he finished his habilitation in 2002. 

During the last years Biophotonics became a major topic in the field of life sciences and health care. Especially label free techniques such as Raman spectroscopic approaches (e.g. Raman microspectroscopy, surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), coherent Raman imaging i.e. coherent ant-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) etc.) have shown their potential to provide a clinician with clinically relevant information to meet current diagnostic challenges in various fields of medical need. Within this contribution, we will highlight our efforts in utilizing a broad variety of Raman spectroscopic approaches to characterize cells and tissue according to unmet medical needs of pathology, oncology, and infection/ sepsis.

Overall the coverage of topics extends from: (I) fundamental research (e.g. innovative plasmonic nanostructures for Raman signal enhancement) to (II) specific technological developments (e.g. Raman / SERS lab-on-a-chip devices, high-content Raman cell analysis platform, etc.), while also (III) including the latest applications or clinical trials / case reports
