Time resolved spectroscopic methods in biophysics


Venice, - Campo Santo Stefano, January 16 - 20, 2006

Organised by:

SIBPA - Società Italiana di Biofisica Pura e Applicata
IVSLA - Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti

Aim of the school

The School promotes deepening of biophysical topics selected in the area of contemporary research. The selected subjects will draw young researcher's attention on themes of frontier research which are considered of relevant scientific and educational impact. The School will be held in the magnificent Palazzo Loredan, in the historical centre of Venice, seat of the Istituto di Scienze Lettere ed Arti.
The School, in its tenth year of activity, will be on:

Time resolved spectroscopic methods in biophysics

and will deal with the following topics:
Time resolved vibrational spectroscopies: 2D IR fs spectroscopy, Time resolved FTIR, Time resolved Raman spectroscopy.
Time resolved absorbance spectroscopies: fs pump-probe vis spectroscopy, nanosecond laser flash photolysis.
Time resolved photothermal methods. Time resolved fluorescence spectroscopies: Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging, Single Molecule Spectroscopy

The list of confirmed lecturers includes:
