2010 ESP PHOTOBIOLOGY SCHOOL
21-26 June, 2010
Brixen/Bressanone, Italy
ESP is pleased to announce the 2010 ESP Photobiology School, taking place in Brixen/Bressanone in South Tyrol, Italy. The purpose of the school is to provide an introductory overview of all main aspects of photobiology, presented by experts in each area. The intention of the school is to cover the basic principles of photobiology and photochemistry of biomolecules as well as applications of such knowledge in understanding effects of climatic changes, influence of light on biological systems, applications of light in medicine and for other purposes. The school will include basic lectures in each field that should be attended by all participants as well as optional special lectures in the same fields. The students will be able to present their results at a poster session. The course may act as a fundament for further research in the photobiological sciences. The attendants may be MSc- and PhD-students as well as others who would be interested in an overview of the photobiological sciences. However, the course will be designed for PhD students. The course will end with a short final test and an attendance certificate will be provided.
The school will cover the following areas:
Photophysics and photochemistry
Biophotonics - Light dosimetry in biological tissues
UV (from DNA damage to human skin)
Photoimmunology, UV and Vit.D and UVA signalling
Photomedicine
PDT and fluorescence diagnosis
Photosynthesis
Environmental photobiology
Photosensory biology
