Man has recognised an association of light with life and medicine
for over 3000 years. Today the major challenges to this topic
include the elucidation of photochemical reactions involved in
photobiology at the molecular level. This includes the use of a
variety of modem probing techniques that directly measures the
reactivity of excited states and free radicals involved in
biological reactions. This text-book is based on such an approach
and has arisen from some of the lectures delivered at the NATO ASI
held at Hotel Capo Caccia near the Centre for Advanced Research in
Photobiology (CARP) in Sardegia, Italy. The ASI took place from 30
September -13 October 1993 and involved a total membership of 90.
The book, like the NATO ASI itself, is divided into four themes
starting with fundamental aspects and ending with complex medically
related systems. Thus Theme 1 covers aspects of the underlying
photophysics and photochemistry with particular emphasis on modem
experimental techniques to study molecular mechanisms of biological
processes. Theme 2 applies many of these fundamental studies to the
chemical reactions of most relevance to photobiology and
photomedicine such as photo-addition, -isomerization,
-sensitization and -pigmentation. The third and fourth Themes deal
with the deleterious and therapeutic aspects of light with
particular emphasis on the use of Photo-Dynamic Therapy (PDT) to
treat cancer and on viral and micro bioi infections.
