2008 Report |

This year, Obninsk BioSchool
2008 (8th International School of Modern
Problems of Radiation Biology) was held between
May 19th and 23rd in the site near Medical
Radiological Research Center (MRRC), Obninsk,
Kaluga Oblast. The BioSchool was organized
by Professor Saenko from MRRC, and about
200 attendants were invited from Russian
Federation as well as from the countries
neighboring Russia.
The first day was opened by the opening ceremony
by Professor Tsyb, who is the director of
MRRC of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.
There were two lectures delivered in the first
day. The first lecture was given by Professor
Tomonaga, and the second one was my lecture.
The title of my lecture was Mechanism of DNA
damage checkpoint activation and amplification.
Because not all the participants could understand
English, Dr. Vladimir Saenko kindly translated
my lecture. Most participants seemed to be
medical doctors, and they seemingly involved
in radiation medicine. However, after the
lecture, there were a couple of questions
including one from Professor Saenko, and the
discussion last for an hour thereafter. They
very much intended to translate the results
obtained by the basic researches to the clinics.
Although this was the first time for them
to hear the lectures from foreign scientists,
we could finish our lectures successfully.
Since we got several positive feedbacks, it
seems likely that the BioSchool continues
to invite foreign lecterers.
To establish a discipline of Radiation Health
Risk Control it is indispensable to develop
human resources who will become leading specialists
in the field of radiation medical sciences.
For this purpose, we are now pursuing the
possibility by which Nagasaki GCOE program
is involved more in the European Radiation
Biology Master Course. This is a good example
how Nagasaki GCOE program can contribute to
the international education program. In addition,
this BioSchool must be another arena where
our program can send our resources to strengthen
our advances. As the organizers of the BioSchool
are willing to invite lecturers from Nagasaki
again, it should be a good idea to keep sending
our stuffs or even the students. By doing
this, I believe that we will be able to fulfill
the purpose of the Nagasaki Global COE program.
