同步輻射與雷射在生醫研究之應用

Laser and synchrotron facilities have become indispensible tools for the advanced bio and biomedical researches. The completion of human genome sequence in early 2000 has further accelerated the needs of understanding the structures of proteins and functions of cells of medical importance. Recently, new interests for advanced measurements have been created as the low-emittance synchrotrons and lastly the X-ray free electron lasers become operational. The course is designed to introduce these new world-wide experimental facilities and discuss the emerging scientific opportunities not possible before. The course is also planned to include such newly emerged scientific topics as X-ray nano-imaging for cell biology and cancer research, laser-controlled crystallization for proteins, laser-fabricated nanomedicine, advancement of optical microscopy of bio imaging, and so on to study the dynamics of protein systems. The course is intended to be highly interactive and free of discussions.

The course is designed for senior and graduate students who have knowledge of introductory level of physics or chemistry. It is helpful but not required for students to have previous courses on biology or synchrotron radiation.
