About the DEEPSEE 2025 Symposium

The DEEPSEE 2025 Symposium explores several of the latest advancements in high-resolution imaging, advanced spectroscopy, and chemometric techniques. With improvements in sensitivity and imaging speed, these technologies now enable molecular-level insights from single molecules to tissue-scale imaging, surpassing conventional optical methods.


Organized by the Dynamics, Nanoscopy and Chemometrics (Dynachem) group of LASIRe in the frame of the U Lille international Chair held by Peter Dedecker, the goal of this symposium is to share state-of-the-art developments in instrumentation and applications, fostering discussions on current challenges and future directions. Through invited talks and in-depth discussions, we invite researchers from all disciplines to explore fluorescence microscopy, super-resolution imaging, and data analysis, strengthening collaborations and expanding the boundaries of molecular imaging.
