This is one of the series of international conferences held periodically, every 2 to 3 years, by IABERD (International Association of Biological and EPR Radiation Dosimetry). EPR BioDose 2022 Okayama hopes to attract a large number of students, professionals, and experts working on fundamentals and applications of biological dosimetry and EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) dosimetry and dating.

Okayama is located 700 km west of Tokyo, between Osaka and Hiroshima, on the coast of Seto Inland Sea. It is just a one-hour flight from Tokyo, full of historical attractions, including Momotaro tales.

Training courses

Two separate training courses are for the first time planned on dicentric and translocation assays and on in-vivo nail EPR dosimetry.

Post-conference tour (under construction)

A two-day post-conference optional tour to the Fukushima Dai-ich Power Plants accident site, with a cost of about 400 USD (ending in Tokyo), can be planned according to the interest of the participants.

Please express your interest, if you have, to Dr. Shin Toyoda, toyoda@dap.ous.ac.jp.

Proceedings

Conference proceedings will be published in a scientific journal after ordinary reviewing processes.
