Past and future PDT-related events in France

The second National PDT day has been held in Lille - France, in November 2019 and was co-organized by Céline Frochot, Nadira Delhem and Serge Mordon. 85 participants were gathered around a program that covered the progress of PDT in fundamental research, preclinical settings, and in clinic.

The French Society of Medical Photonic (SFPMed) held its annual congress in the ski area of Les Eucherts in the Alpes (France).

There was a selection of approximately 20 talks and a poster session allowing all the participants to discuss their more recent work. Ludivine Larue (LRGP Nancy) and Isabelle Toubia-Ceisam (University of Nantes) received an award for their presentations whereas Mathilde Champeau (CEA Grenoble, ONCOTHAI Lille) received an award for her poster. Congratulations to them!
