SUMMARY:New approaches to imaging angiogenesis and oxidative stress in liv
 ing systems. - Sarah Bohndiek (University of Cambridge)

DESCRIPTION:Oxygen supply and demand in tumours are intricately linked wit
 h disease progression\, particularly in hormone sensitive tissues such as 
 the breast and prostate. At present\, there are few non-invasive methods w
 ith which we can reveal the spatiotemporal distribution of this process no
 n-invasively. In this talk\, I will focus on the use of photoacoustic imag
 ing to: track the formation of new blood vessels in tumours using the abso
 rption of light by haemoglobin\; and probe levels of oxidative stress in c
 ancer cells using a targeted photoacoustic contrast agent. I will conclude
  with future perspectives on clinical translation of this emerging new tec
 hnology.
