The Virtual Photonics Technology Initiative was initiated and supported from 2008 – 2019 by the Laser Microbeam and Medical Program (LAMMP), an NIBIB Biomedical Technology Resource Center at the Beckman Laser Institute and Medical Clinic. This Initiative remains active and welcomes contributions, collaboration, and support from potential academic and industrial stakeholders.

The Virtual Photonics Technology Initiative has four primary goals:

(a) Design and distribute easy-to-use open-source software tools with graphical-user interfaces that simulate the propagation and distribution of optical radiation in cells and tissues.
(b) Supply educational resources that provide the appropriate foundation for the proper usage of these computational tools.
(c) Develop improved computational models to simulate and design optical diagnostic, imaging, and therapeutic modalities.
(d) Stimulate the formation of an active community of 'experts' in Computational Biophotonics interested in offering their expertise and in developing advanced simulation tools to advance this open-source effort.
