Description

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).
