Scope:

The School is aimed to provide a forum for scientists engaged in EPR/ESR spectroscopy for biophysical, chemical, biomedical, and material science research as well as applications. Several expert faculties will deliver state-of-the-art lectures covering theory, instrumentation and applications of EPR spectroscopy involving free radicals. Young investigators are especially encouraged to participate in the School as this would enable them to improve their understanding of the basic principles and acquire a broad view of developing applications in multidisciplinary areas of EPR spectroscopy and free radical research including food science and radiation biology. The School is open to participants from all over world and schedules are such that they can attend the School as well as APES 04.  Lecture materials are proposed to be published in the form of a book.

 

Mumbai ( formerly called Bombay) is a cosmopolitan city, which is well connected by rail, road and air. More details can be obtained from the website of the School.
