Fluorescence technologies are essential to life sciences. Fluorescent compounds allow versatile visualisation of structures and processes at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and whole-body levels in the broad biological context. The most recent advances in fluorescence engineering, imaging and sensing techniques have boosted single-molecule spectroscopy, fluorescence life-time imaging (FLIM), multiphoton imaging; underlying truly exciting progress in the areas of fluorescent genetically encoded protein sensors, FRET-based omics technologies, super-resolution microscopy, near-infrared and short-wavelength infrared imaging for deep tissue imaging, label-free fluorescent imaging, clinical applications of fluorescence (such as intraoperative imaging), etc. Except short-lived fluorescence, dyes can emit long-lived phosphorescence or generate reactive oxygen species (photosensitisation). The organic phosphorescence has emerged as a new promising direction, opening new opportunities in life science, and will be addressed at this school. The photosensitisation is the mainstay of photodynamic therapy. Photosensitizers alongside photothermal dyes are emerging theranostics modalities, while organic and protein emitters have been playing an increasingly important role.
In the frame of the school, lectures on cutting-edge topics from the experts in the field are planned. Face-to-face and several remote presentations are planned.
