The International Photodynamic Association is calling for abstract submissions for the upcoming 18th World Congress in Tampere, Finland.
We are seeking abstracts for all research related to photodynamic action in diagnosis (PDD) and therapy (PDT) in all clinical and cosmetic applications. This includes but is not necessarily limited to
- Oncology, dermatology, antimicrobial, ophthalmology, immunology and other indications
- Novel photosensitizer (organic, metal-based compounds and nanoparticles or nanoconstructs)
- Photosensitizer targeting (new applications and indications)
- New insights into the mechanisms, hypoxia and normoxia
- In silicon, in vitro, pre-clinical, translational and clinical studies can be submitted
- PDT excitation mechanisms, by optical single photon and multi-photon excitation, ultrasound, x-ray are welcome
- PDT dosimetry, light and photosensitizer, treatment monitoring and planning are also topics of the congress.

Copyright Information
The IPA and the Elsevier Journal "Photodiagnostics and Photodynamic Therapy" plan to publish a special issue of all of the accepted presentations at the IPA-23 World Congress and hence transfer of the copyrights is requested upon submission of your abstracts and summaries. The copyright is returned to the submitting authors for submissions not accepted for presentation. Ron Allison, the journal's Chief Editor welcomes all presenters of accepted presentations to submit also full papers pertaining the presented work.
