Luminescence and Raman spectroscopy for biological analysis. Foreign trip report, May 30, 1990-June 12, 1990.

摘要

The traveler was invited to present a seminar on ''Immunofluorescence and Raman Fiberoptic Chemical Sensors'' at the Laboratory FOCAL of CEN-FAR, France. The traveler visited the CEN-FAR laboratories involved in laser-based spectroscopy and remote monitors and conducted scientific discussions with research staff at CEN-FAR. The traveler was also invited to present an invited lecture on ''Advances in Luminescence and Raman Spectroscopy for Chemical and Biological Analysis'' at the Laboratory of Molecular Photophysics and Photochemistry, University of Bordeaux, Talence, France. The traveler visited the laboratories involved in the development of luminescence techniques for the analysis of polyaromatic pollutants and related biomarkers. The traveler conducted discussions on potential research collaboration with scientists at the University of Bordeaux. The traveler was awarded a North atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Collaborative Grant to conduct joint research with Professor P. Viallet, head of the Laboratory of Quantitative Microfluorimetry, University of Perpignan. The traveler was involved in experimental luminescence studies of bioindicators of polyaromatic pollutants (DNA adducts, metabolites).
