“Nano-Vehicles for Photodynamic Therapy
and Imaging of Tumours”
Thursday rd3 July 2008
Meeting on:This meeting has been organised in connection with the
beginning of the project “Targeted Nanosystems for
Improving Photodynamic Therapy and Diagnosis of
Cancer” (NANOPHOTO), which has received research
funding from the EU's Seventh Framework Programme. The meeting foresees lectures on the topics of
photodynamic therapy, fluorescence imaging and
nanomedicine at the basis of the idea of NANOPHOTO
project. The lectures will be given by the partners in charge
of carrying out specific tasks of the project.
The meeting has been organized by Dr Elena Reddi,
coordinator of NANOPHOTO project.
The attendance to the meeting is free and open to
everybody, however registration is recommended.
