IUAC Conferences/Workshops/Schools Event Banners

The school is designed to extend an initial training in the field of Heavy Ion Radiation Biology to the students and researchers of life sciences. The research field has wide applications in tumor therapy, space radiation study and fundamental molecular biology. The subject matters discussed in the school would mostly be limited to in-vitro systems.

Eligibility:

• Fresh M. Sc./M. Tech in life sciences specializing in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology/Radiation Biophysics/Biotechnology/Biophysics/Microbiology/Radiation Biology
• Ph.D. students/post-docs/Scientists/Faculty members working in Radiation Biology/Cancer Biology

Topics to be covered in the school

• Basic concepts of interaction of ionizing radiation with matter and biological systems
• Radiation-induced biological damages and their repair mechanism
• Acute and late biological effects and manifestation of damage; radiation carcinogenesis
• Radiation incidents and accidents
• Radiation-induced chromosomal aberration and dosimetry
• Molecular biology techniques: Western blot, RT-PCR, high content screening
• Florescence-based assays: mFISH, FACS
• Track Structure and evolution of mathematical modelling of radiation interaction
• Application of radiation in therapy (molecular genomics/proteomics)
