5th European Melanoma Workshop
26-28 June 2013, Marseille, France
Cancéropôle PACA together with l'INCa organises a meeting on the topic: "Basic and Cinical research join forces to defeat the melanoma"
Internationally renowned scientists will cover all the facets of the research on melanoma, from the molecular and cellular aspects to the preclinical evaluation.
The programme will present to cancer researchers, including those involved in basic research, clinicians and entrepreneurs, the last issues, with discussions chaired by important opinion leaders in the field of melanoma research, with special attention on the problem of melanoma resistance to present treatments, as well as the recent revolutionary concepts wich will open the way to the next generation of treatments.

International Conference on Tetrapyrrole Photoreceptors of Photosynthetic Organisms
12-15 September 2013, Wuhan, China
The conference aims at providing a platform for photobiologists, biophysicists, biochemists, plant physiologists and geneticists for discussion of the following topics of photosynthetic and photosensory chlorophyll- and biliproteins: Structure and function, signal transduction, biosynthesis and degradation of tetrapyrroles, assembly of chromophore and apoproteins, formation of photosynthetic complexes, application in photodynamics and imaging. The conference will enable to exchange research information, discuss challenges, promote collaboration, and facilitate transfer of new technologies. Detailed information on the conference and the location can be found at http://ictppo2013.hzau.edu.cn/.
The conference takes place in the city of Wuhan in central China, at the State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology of the Huazhong Agricultural University. Accommodation will be on site.
Deadline for registration is July 15, 2013. Advanced registration at a reduced rate is possible until April 30, 2013. In addition to the payment methods given in the registration form, payment is also possible by Paypal to

Second Meeting of the Argentine Molecular Photobiologists
II GRAFOB, 2da Reunión del Grupo Argentino de Fotobiología
22-25 October 2013, Córdoba, Argentina
6th Asia and Oceania Conference on Photobiology
Life on a Sun-Drenched Planet
10-13 November 2013, Sidney, Australia
The theme for this 6th meeting of the Asia and Oceania Society for Photobiology is "Life on a Sun-Drenched Planet".
The three parallel conference streams of Plant Photobiology, Vision and Photomedicine will showcase the latest photobiological research from a diverse range of themes.
There will be sessions covering photodynamic therapy (PDT), phototherapy, photoprotection, photocarcinogenesis, photoimmunology, photoaging, photochemistry, photoreceptors, photosynthesis, and much much more.
The editor in chief of the ESP journal, "Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences" has agreed to publish a special issue covering research presented in these sessions.
In addition to a number of high profile invited speakers, many of the speakers will be chosen from abstract submissions and therefore there will be many speaking opportunities. Those abstracts not chosen for an oral presentation will be able to present their work in poster format.
You can keep up to date with all the latest exciting information by visiting the official conference website at www.aocp2013.org.au.
We hope you will join us in Sydney to experience what we anticipate will be an exciting, informative and no doubt “en-lightening” conference!

16th International Congress on Photobiology
September 8th – 12th, 2014, Córdoba, Argentina
The President of the International Union of Photobiology, IUPB (http://www.pol-us.net/iupb/), the Chairwoman of the Organizing Committee and the Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee invite you to attend the 16th International Congress of Photobiology to be held in the City of Córdoba in Argentina in September (8th to 12th) 2014, in the Campus of the University (http://www.unc.edu.ar/english). This congress is organized every five years with the last one in Duesseldorf, Germany, in 2009.
The Congress will address all areas of Photobiology such as photosensors in Archaea, Bacteria and Eucaria, photosynthesis including antennas and reaction centres, photomovement, photomorphogenesis, cryptochromes, LOV, BLUF and retinal proteins and domains, vision, circadian rhythms, environmental photobiology, UV influence on plankton, UV damage, protection and repair of DNA, photoreceptors in extremophiles (at high altitudes and in the Antarctic and Arctic regions), photoaging, photocarcinogenesis, photomedicine, synthetic and natural photosensitizers, photodynamic therapy, PUVA, vitiligo, molecular basis of the medical uses of lamps and lasers, artificial tanning, optogenetics, optical technology, photophysics and photochemistry of natural compounds, modelling photosynthesis with man-made compounds, and others. Sessions will be organized in several of these areas.
The multidisciplinary nature of the subjects treated offers the opportunity for scientists in many different disciplines, who otherwise do not often meet, such as physicists, chemists, plant physiologists, biologists, biochemists, ecologists, physicians, engineers, etc., to come together in the beautiful City of Córdoba, discuss new approaches and start new collaborative projects. The meeting should also offer the opportunity to renew long standing friendships, and to establish new ones.
During the Conference several awards will be offered, such as the Finsen Medal in Photobiology and in Photomedicine, the Finsen Award Lecture, and the Edna Roe Award Lecture.
The University of Córdoba turns 400 years old in 2013, being the oldest in Argentina. Many buildings will be renovated for this occasion. Some of the buildings erected by the Jesuits, now in the Centre of the City, very near the Campus, are part of the Jesuit legacy and have been declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 2000. The City has a marvellous weather in September, is very near the mountains of the Province of Córdoba with extraordinary hiking possibilities as well as historical sites of the colonial times.
We will be delighted welcoming you in Córdoba in September 2014.
Please mark your calendar, visit the congress webpage and preregister.
Hasta pronto en Córdoba.
