Overview

Studying the effects of Ionizing Radiation on biological systems has gained attention of radiation biologists globally since the discovery of X-rays in 1895. In recent few decades, it has gained momentum due to the wider acceptability of radiation/radiation techniques in diagnosis and therapy of various diseases including cancer. These studies not only have implication in therapy and medicines, but they are essential for radiation protection planning and radiation risk assessment. Various groups are working around the world to increase the therapeutic efficacy of radiotherapy at the same time to minimize the side-effects. The field is inter-disciplinary with researchers involved from biology, chemistry and physics putting their concerted efforts in this direction. 

            The workshop is being organized to provide platform for bringing the experts to give an overview of the latest development in these research areas. It will feature lectures by eminent experts on topics including status on experimental and theoretical understanding on effects of ionizing radiation, use of accelerated ions for these studies in the research labs, latest technologies utilizing ionizing radiation in health sector, and research being conducted to use medicine in conjunction with ionizing radiation. The lectures shall be complemented by visit to facilities at IUAC for molecular radiation biology research and interactive sessions for participants with faculties. The participants can make poster presentation (optional) and are eligible for award(s).
