Lecture on “Laser spectroscopy in the detection and treatment of human malignancies” by Prof. Katarina Svanberg (Lund University) on November 4th, 2008
In order to promote the dissemination of innovative ideas better and interdisciplinary exchange，we and Medical College Student Union organized a lecture given by professor Katarina Svanberg on laser spectroscopy. Laser spectroscopy as an emerging discipline in the field of medicine are showing strong prospects for the application. We invited Professor Katarina Svanberg to give us a introduction on laser spectroscopy in the early detection of cancer, diagnosis and treatment of a comprehensive introduction, give us new treatment ideas for malignant tumor.
Lecture topics: Laser spectroscopy in the detection and treatment of human malignancies
Speakers: Professor Katarina Svanberg
Time: Nov. 4th 20:00
Location:The hall of Medicine School in Zijinggang Campus
Biography of the speaker: Katarina Svanberg MD., PhD. Associate Professor of Oncology, Department of Oncology, Chief Oncologist, Oncology Clinic, Lund University Hospital, Lund University. Katarina Svanberg started her research career by studying laser light interaction in biological tissue. Her PhD thesis in Medical Science presented pre-clinical research work within experimental photodynamic therapy and tissue spectroscopy. The post doc research activity has been focussed on clinical application of the pre clinical achievements. Katarina Svanberg has combined her clinical activity with research work and thus been able to introduce a new cancer treatment modality in Oncology (Photodynamic Therapy) at the Lund University Hospital. She has been a key person in the collaboration in between several clinics and departments at the Lund University Hospital in introducing and applying laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy for early tumour detection. K.S. is a board member of Lund Laser Centre and since 1993. She is the director of the Lund University Medical Laser Centre.. She is also the Invited speaker at AOE 2008 in the Optical Sensors and Biophotonics session.
