Microbeam Conference

["ERIC GOLDIN" <goldinem@songs.sce.com>]

I'm sure there are other Radsafers who may not be in the Radiation Research 
Society, who might be interested in this meeting.  Info only.

 DAVID BRENNER <brenner@cpmc3.cpmc.columbia.edu> announces the following
meeting of interest to Radiation Research members.

                         3rd International Workshop:

                Microbeam Probes of Cellular Radiation Response
                     Columbia University, New York City,
                              May 8-9, 1997

        There is increasing interest in using microbeams, which can deliver
beams of different radiations with a spatial resolution of a few microns, for
radiobiological research. The technique can be used to address such questions
as the effects of irradiation of neighboring cells, the effects of single
tracks of radiation, and the relative sensitivities of different parts of the
cell.

        Several microbeams are now in operation, and others are being
developed. This Workshop is to review the current status of microbeams, and to
look forward to future developments.

        The Workshop will be at Columbia University in Manhattan, on the
Thursday and Friday after the Radiation Research Society Meeting in Providence,
Rhode Island. Transportation between Providence and Manhattan is rapid and
convenient. The Workshop is scheduled for one and half days, with an optional
tour of the Columbia University Microbeam facility on Friday afternoon.

        If you are interested in attending and/or presenting, please fill out
the attached form, or Email us, by January 31, and a second announcement will
be sent to you.
