Regional Summer School – “Imaging Neuroinflammation”
Kotor, ME
Attendance type(s): In Person
Event Dates: 17—20 Jun 2016
Regional Biophysical School “Academician Radoslav K. Andjus” (NERKA) was established in honor of Professor R.K. Andjus (1926-2003) an internationally recognized scientists from the University of Belgrade, a member of Montenegrin and Serbian academies
of sciences and arts and one of the founders of Institute for Marine Biology in Kotor.
This is the sixth school, organized traditionally by the Biophysical Society of Serbia this time with the sponsorship of the International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB) with over 50 members.
Each school has a different theme, and thematic objective of this school is to introduce modern methods of biophysical imaging and image analysis in studies of inflammatory phenomena and markers of neurodegenerative diseases. It is also envisaged to rise discussion among the participants on the translational value of these techniques and the clinical relevance of presented experimental markers.
The techniques covered will be MRI, MRS, PET, EPRI, and advanced microscopy non-linear microscopy dual photon fluorescence, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) & microscopy, super-resolution microscopy (PALM, STED), raman spectroscopy (CARS), digital holographic microscopy. A multidisciplinary faculty is chosen ranging from fields of physics (applications of laser technology and advanced microscopy), physical chemistry (magnetic resonance techniques and applications), biology (experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases), and
medicine (clinical studies and markers of neuroinflammation).
