(in Polish) Skin photobiology 2600-OG-EN-SP

The main goal of the course is to give the students a broad overview of the most important scientific fields of photobiology and photomedicine with a focus on photophysics and photochemistry, penetration of light in tissue, photomedicine including photodynamic therapy, photodiagnosis, UV effects on tissue (DNA damage, photocarcinogenesis, photoimmunology, UV cell signaling and vitamin D synthesis), photosynthesis, environmental photobiology and photosensory biology.
The lectures will focus on a general aspects of skin photobiology, photomedicine, photoneuroendocrine and photoimmunological aspects of skin biology and will provide the background for laboratory.
The laboratory course will focus on anatomy, histology and pathology of the skin, skin phototypes, methods for the detection of UV-induced changes in the skin, analysis of sunscreens and methods for detection of reactive oxygen species. The students will also get the knowledge about artificial UV radiators (sunbeds, sunlamps, nail lamps).
