About the School

Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) is organizing a Combined School and Workshop on “Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation.” Ionizing radiation induces a wide range of molecular and cellular responses that drive both fundamental research and therapeutic approaches. Through a series of lectures by distinguished experts, participants will learn about recent advances in understanding radiation-driven biological effects and their applications in areas such as radiotherapy, radioprotection, space radiation biology, etc.

Topics To Be Covered

• Biological Interactions of Ionizing Radiation
• Microscopy-Based Approaches for Studying Radiation-Induced Damage
• Recent Advances in Cell Culture and Molecular Biology Techniques
• Radioprotective Agents and Mitigators in Nuclear Incidents
• Clinical Applications of Radiation Therapy
• Emerging Frontiers in Radiation Biology: Space, Agriculture, and Beyond
• Hands on session and demonstration of radiation biology facility at IUAC.

Details

• Participants are encouraged to participate in the e-Poster and Ideation presentation session, an opportunity to present novel findings, conceptual frameworks and engage with domain experts.
• A registration fee of INR 1,000/– will be collected from short-listed participants. The fees covers registration kit, food, and shared accommodation.
• Limited travel support (upto AC III tier non-Rajdhani fare) may be granted to a few participants upon request, subject to fund availability.
