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