7th European Short Course on Principles & Applications of Time-resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy
This is intended for individuals wishing an in-depth introduction to the principles of fluorescence spectroscopy and its applications to the Life Sciences. The course is held in cooperation with Dr. J.R. Lakowicz from the Center of Fluorescence Spectroscopy (CFS) in Baltimore. The course consists of lectures in the morning as well as instrumentation and software hands-on training in the afternoon. The course is taught by Joseph R. Lakowicz, Zygmunt “Karol” Gryczynski as well as Rainer Erdmann and the staff of PicoQuant, who have extensive experience in time-resolved fluorescence and its applications to the Life Sciences. Hands-on experimentation will be offered on various instruments, e.g. lifetime spectrometers and steady-state spectrophotometers, provided by market-leading companies.

Additional Information
Speaker Information:
The course covers the basics of steady state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and instrumentation (time- and frequency-domain measurements, anisotropy, solvent effects, quenching and Foerster energy transfer, data analysis) and emphasises in its advanced part time-resolved fluorescence, together with advanced applications of fluorescence in biophysics, sensing, imaging, clinical chemistry, multi-photon excitation and ultrasensitive detection.
This years course differs from previous courses. It will focus on time-resolved spectroscopy applications (i.e. measurements on bulk samples). Time-resolved microscopy applications like FLIM or FCS are now covered in a dedicated course. As a consequence, this years course is also one day shorter than the previous courses.
