Upcoming events


Plant Research in the Light of Climate Change. The benefits of environmental simulation
Neuherberg (near Munich), Germany. 14 - 16 April 2010

The Workshop will cover plants’ responses to environmental factors and the manipulation of those factors. A further important topic will be the impact of those responses on human health. You are welcome to contribute to this meeting with presentations, posters and stimulating discussions.
The registration for the meeting will open on December 18th 2009.

Photodynamic Therapy and Photodiagnosis in Clinical Practice
Brixen/Bressanone (South Tyrol), Italy. 6 - 9 October 2010

The symposium (centred on basic research, as well as on pre-clinical/clinical studies) is organized according to a well-established structure, which allows for an in-depth, even though relaxed, examination and discussion of the state-of-the-art, novel developments and future perspectives concerning the chemical, biological, biophysical and medical aspects of photodynamic applications.
The various topics will be presented by internationally acknowledged experts. At the same time, broad space will be given to short communications and poster discussion.
In particular, the October 2010 symposium will focus on
- tumours in different anatomical sites
- dermatological diseases
- microbial infections
- novel photosensitisers and delivery systems
- PD/PDT and nanomedicine
- veterinary indications
- instrumentation and dosimetry
Adequate space will be allocated to cover novel ground-breaking advances, including the use of nanotechnologies in PD/PDT, staminal cells and PDT, molecular engineering of photosensitiser and carrier systems to enhance the selective targeting of tumour tissues.
