Convenor Welcome

On behalf of the Executive Board of the International Union of Photobiology (IUPB), the Molecular and Experimental Pathology Society of Australasia (MEPSA), and the Local Organising Committee, we welcome you to the 18th International Congress on Photobiology, held in Perth (Australia) from the 25th to the 30th of August 2024.

This joint congress in the City of Light will provide a comprehensive international forum for disseminating the most recent research and technological developments in the photobiological sciences and in photomedicine. It will offer a unique opportunity to present the latest breakthroughs, exchange new ideas, and establish global and far-reaching collaborations.

Symposia, keynote lectures, award lectures, and poster sessions, complemented by industry sessions, will achieve the broadest possible coverage of the photobiological sciences. We welcome a large number of invited symposia chairs and speakers from across the world, enabling delegates to disseminate and discuss their research, thereby increasing its impact. In addition, there will be the opportunity to contribute and participate in interactive poster sessions.

Perth is synonymous with everything attractive about Australia, blending urban cool with raw natural beauty. With its immersive experiences and proximity to a range of day trip destinations, Australia’s sunniest capital city is a place where relaxation and adventure go hand in hand.

We look forward to joining you at the conference.
