The main goal of the сonference is to provide the multidisciplinary platform for the presentation and discussion of scientific results on the ultraweak luminescence of biological systems with a particular focus on the ultraweak luminescence in the middle-UV range (mitogenetic radiation) and blood tumor marker quenching it (cancer quencher), radiation hormesis, related phenomena and hypotheses.

Topics:

• Experimental results on ultraweak luminescence of biological and biochemical systems;
  
• Methods and equipment for ultraweak luminescence studies;
• Mechanisms of ultraweak luminescence in chemical and biological systems;
• Ultraweak luminescence studies for monitoring and diagnostics in medicine, agriculture etc.;
  
• Specific features of cancer tissues, physiological fluids and metabolism in cancer, promising for diagnostics by biophotonic methods;
• Mitogenetic radiation, relevant cancer diagnostics, radiation hormesis and related phenomena: experimental results, hypotheses, associated information, prospects.

Three sessions and a round-table are preliminary planned:

• Ultraweak luminescence from biological and biochemical systems;
  
• Cancer applications of biophotonics;
  
• Mitogenetic radiation and relevant cancer diagnostics, radiation hormesis and related phenomena;
• Round-table on mitogenetic radiation, cancer quencher, radiation hormesis and related phenomena;
• Reports and comments offering constructive criticism are appreciated no less than ones supporting and developing the concepts.

Format:
Online conference (in-person part in 2025 is under discussion)

Conference Dates:
October 1-3, 2025
