Programme
This ESF-EMBO Conference aims to create a timely forum for multi-disciplinary discussions of recent developments in the ionising radiation effects on integrated living systems, from molecular to tissular scales, bringing together physicists, chemists, biochemists, biologists, genetics experts as well as physicians with a common interest in using different radiation sources and advanced techniques to explore transdisciplinary aspects of modern radiation biology and related biomedical applications.
Deeply understanding the basic mechanisms of radiation damage in vitro and on living cells, starting from the early radical and molecular processes to mutagenic DNA lesions, cell signalling, genomic instability, apoptosis, microenvironment and Bystander effects, radio sensitivity should have in the near future many practical consequences like the customization of radiation therapy or radioprotection protocols. In this context, spatio-temporal radiation biology represents a newly emerging interdisciplinary field of studies driven nowadays in strong synergy with the most recent progresses of molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, biomarker detections, X-ray synchrotron micro-imaging, microbeams, pulsed relativistic particle sources, selective targeting radiopharmaceutical, advanced radiation therapies.
