A brief review on the activities of Biophotonics Laboratory at UL Institute of Atomic Physics and Spectroscopy, following the previous Biophotonics Riga - 2017 conference, is presented. Twelve recent research projects are considered, including two EC Horizon-2020 projects, six European Regional Development Fund projects and four projects funded by the Latvian Council of Science. The projects are generally aimed at development of new optical methods and technologies for noninvasive in-vivo skin assessment to facilitate early diagnostics of skin malformations (including cancers), sepsis and cutaneous blood microcirculation features. Most of the projects explore novel approaches of camera-based biomedical imaging for clinical diagnostics and recovery monitoring.
