Announcement of 4th European short course on principles and applications of time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, to take place 30 October - 3 November 2006 in Berlin
The course consists of lectures as well as instrumentation and software hands-on training.
Key lectures are given by Joseph R Lakowicz, Center for Fluorescence Spectroscopy, University of Maryland, Zygmunt (Karol) Gryczynski, Center for Fluorescence Spectroscopy, University of Maryland, Martin Hof, Biospectroscopy Laboratory at the J Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, Prague, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Manfred Auer, Innovative Screening Technologies (IST) at the Novartis Lead Discovery Center, as well as lecturer for Biophysical Chemistry at the University of Salzburg, Austria, Joerg Enderlein, Single Molecule Detection group at FZ Julich, Germany and other invited speakers.
Instruments will be provided by market leading companies as Olympus, Horiba Jobin Yvon and Varian (to be completed).
Course content.
The course covers the basics of steady state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and instrumentation (time- and frequency-domain measurements, anisotropy, solvent effects, quenching and Foerster energy transfer, data analysis) and emphasises in its advanced part time-resolved fluorescence, together with advanced applications of fluorescence in biophysics, sensing, imaging, clinical chemistry, multi-photon excitation and ultrasensitive detection.
Registration deadlines special course fees:.
Earlybirds: 30 April 2006; deadline for registration: 15t July 2006.
