The Baker Lab
Light and Photosynthesis Workshop
3th - 4th November 2016 The Swire Institute of Marine Science, HKU
About the Workshop
This 2-day workshop will include 1 day of theory and 1 day of hands- on experiential learning in the application of Pulse Amplitude Modulated (PAM) Fluorometry in photobiology. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements are powerful tools to assess fundamental photosynthetic performance and are increasingly being applied in investigations of ecophysiology in different fields. A detailed schedule will be circulated in due course.
About the Keynote Speakers
Dr. Roberto Iglesias-Preito, Professor of Biology, Penn State University and Research Scientist from The Institute of Marine Sciences and Limnology (ICML) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), is specialized in ecophysiology of corals, Photobiology of reef primary producers, symbiosis between microalgae and invertebrates.
Dr. Susana Enríquez Dominguez, Research Scientist from The Institute of Marine Sciences and Limnology (ICML) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), works in the field of plant physiology and marine biology with specialty in photobiology of coral reef primary producers
