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

Topics to be covered

• Interaction of ionizing radiation with matter and basic concepts

• Radiation induced damage and repair mechanism

• Acute effects and radiation carcinogenesis

• Flash carbon therapy, Radon therapy and Signaling

• Radiation induced Chromosome aberration

• Molecular Biology Techniques: Western blot, RT PCR

• Florescence based assays, mFISH, FACS

• Chemical and Biological dosimetry

• Statistical methods in Biology

• Track Structure and evolution of mathematical Modelling of radiation interaction

Eligibility

• Students from final year M.Sc./M. Tech in life sciences specializing in Molecular Biology / Biotechnology / Biophysics / Biochemistry/ Radiation Biology/ Radiation Biophysics/ Microbiology.

• Fresh M.Sc./M. Tech on the above subjects who have appeared / are going to appear in NET

• Ph.D. students working in Radiation Biology

• Faculty members interested in Radiation Biology
