Radiobiology and isotopic imaging

This 6. workshop occurs after more than 10 years of meaningful scientific exchanges between the National Institute of Radiological Sciences and the Life Science Division of the French Atomic Commission. The aim of the workshops held alternatively in Japan and France every two years is to promote new collaboration and stimulate exchange of scientists. In this respect, encouraging results have been obtained, since young scientists are currently working at the partner's institution; this is highlighted this year, with the presentation of their results as speakers from each country. New projects are under way to enlarge scientific collaboration. This sixth workshop will allocate three days to specialized working groups within the laboratories at the various locations of the Life Science Division. We hope that all participants will take this opportunity to develop further collaborative research activities in connection with the recent major advances in the field of radiobiology and medical imaging. Such a meeting appears of high interest within the context of new nuclear energy developments
