DESCRIPTION:This talk will describe the principles of ultrafast lasers and 
 their application to biomedical imaging.  In particular it will describe fl
 uorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM)\, which can be thought of as a kind of f
 lash photography on picosecond timescales and is used to study the behaviou
 r of molecules in order to understand their environment and interactions.  
 By identifying particular molecular species\, it can help diagnose disease 
 such as cancer and can be used to study signalling mechanisms in cells that
  underlie the transmission and spread of disease.  This interdisciplinary a
 pproach to science\, combining the latest advances in laser technology with
  biological and medical techniques\, is increasingly important for today's 
 science.
