Dear Italian Researchers working with PDT of cancer,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit an article to the “Topical Collection on Photodynamic Therapy-Enhanced Antitumor Immunity” for publication in Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences (PPS) – PPS is published under the Springer imprint as of 2021 and is the official journal of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) and the European Photochemistry Association (EPA).

In 1994, 30 years ago, antitumour immunity induced by PDT was demonstrated by Canti and co-workers. This collection is therefore dedicated to Professor emeritus Gianfranco Canti, University of Milan, Italy. What is more, it is his 75th anniversary this year! PDT and its effects on the host immune system has witnessed significant advancements. Still, there are several scientific gaps to fill.

With the “Topical Collection on Photodynamic Therapy-Enhanced Antitumor Immunity”, the editors Mladen Korbelik and Pål Kristian Selbo, aim to provide a comprehensive platform for original research, reviews, perspectives, communications, and technical notes and welcome submissions that address various aspects of PDT-enhanced antitumor immunity. Detailed information on the scope and topics covered in this topical collection can be found in our recent Editorial in PPS.

Please, submit your manuscript through the journal’s online submission system where you follow the guidelines provided on the PPS website. All manuscripts will be subject to external peer review and published immediately after acceptance on a dedicated area of the journal’s website for greater visibility and impact. The submission deadline is 15th of December 2024.

PPS is a Transformative Journal and you will have the option to choose how your article is published: Traditional publishing model – published articles are made available to institutions and individuals who subscribe to PPS or who pay to read specific articles. Open Access (OA) – when an article is accepted for publication, the author/s or funder/s pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). Check if your institution has a Springer Nature Open Access agreement.

We hope that you will be able to accept our invitation to contribute to this very special topical collection and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Mladen Korbelik and Pål Kristian Selbo, Editors

Following the success of the previous editions, the European Society of Photobiology is pleased to announce the 7th Edition of the ESP Photobiology School, which will be held in beautiful Brixen-Bressanone (South Tyrol, Italy) from 16-22 June 2024.
Details of the School program and registration and logistic information are available at the page https://www.photobiology.eu/photobiology-school

The purpose of the ESP Photobiology School is to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of all main aspects of photobiology, covering the basic principles of photobiology as well its applications in very diverse, multidisciplinar fields, e.g., from understanding the effects of climatic changes to light sensing by living organisms, the effects of light on plants, animals and humans, and the uses of light in biology and medicine.

The course is primarily designed for PhD students and postdocs, and is open also to MSc students and professional scientists wishing to get an introduction to the photobiological sciences.

The School includes basic and advanced special lectures presented by leading experts in the fields of Physical & Chemical Photobiology, Environmental Photobiology, Sensory Photobiology, Plant Photobiology, Human Photobiology, Photomedicine, and Photodynamic Therapy.

The students will also have the opportunity to present their results at a poster session. The posters will be evaluated by the lecturers of the School and the presenter of the best poster will be awarded a travel fellowship to present the poster at the next ESP Congress. In addition, an optional short final test is offered at the end of the course and an exam certificate is provided after evaluation of the exam results. Passing the exam will entitle students to apply for the ESP supplement to the Ph.D. Degree.

Also, the school has a very rich social program aimed at promoting networking among students. This aspect is highly valued by students as it enables scientific collaborations and personal relationships beyond the boundaries of the school.

We look forward to welcoming you in Brixen!

Massimo Trotta, President
Santi Nonell, Director
Giorgia Miolo, ESP Treasurer and Local Organiser
