on May 05 - 06. 2022
Schlossberg Hotel
Homburg/ Saar, Germany
_________________________________________________________________________Dear Participants, Colleagues and Friends!
- On behalf of the scientific committee, it is a pleasure to invite you cordially to our next Joint International Symposium Vitamin D in Prevention and Therapy and Biologic Effects of Light that we will organize on May 04 - 06, 2022 in Homburg (Saar), Germany.
- Recently, enormous scientific progress has been made on these closely related topics.
- Results from laboratory and clinical investigations have now unravelled many of the molecular mechanisms that mediate the biologic effects both of vitamin D an optical radiation, thereby leading to promising new concepts for the prevention and treatment of cancer and many other diseases.
- However, our increasing knowledge about the impact of vitamin D and optical radiation for human health has opened many new unresolved questions that are at present controversially discussed in the scientific community.
- This meeting is specially designed to give scientists and clinicians an update on these topics and insights into the latest developments in these intriguing research areas.
- To reach this goal, lectures will be held by leading experts in the field who will present "both sides of the coin".
- Plenary and keynote lectures, as well as round table discussions and poster presentations, will give an update on carefully selected "hot topics", including vitamin D, skin cancer prevention, risks and benefits of sunscreens, UVA radiation and cellular homeostasis, photocarcinogenesis, circadian clock, and what genome wide association studies tell us about sun exposure and melanoma aetiology.
- You are cordially invited to join this meeting.
We hope we will see you next May in Homburg.

- Es ist mir eine Freude, Sie im Namen des wissenschaftlichen Komitees herzlich zu unserem nächsten Joint International Symposium Vitamin D in Prevention and Therapy and Biological Effects of Light einzuladen, das wir vom 04. bis 06. Mai 2022 in Homburg (Saar) veranstalten werden .
- Bei diesen eng verwandten Themen wurden in jüngster Zeit enorme wissenschaftliche Fortschritte erzielt.
- Ergebnisse aus Labor- und klinischen Untersuchungen haben nun viele der molekularen Mechanismen entschlüsselt, die die biologischen Wirkungen sowohl von Vitamin D als auch von optischer Strahlung vermitteln, was zu vielversprechenden neuen Konzepten für die Prävention und Behandlung von Krebs und vielen anderen Krankheiten geführt hat.
- Unser zunehmendes Wissen über die Auswirkungen von Vitamin D und optischer Strahlung auf die menschliche Gesundheit hat jedoch viele neue ungelöste Fragen aufgeworfen, die derzeit in der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft kontrovers diskutiert werden.
- Dieses Treffen wurde speziell entwickelt, um Wissenschaftler und Kliniker über diese Themen auf dem Laufenden zu halten und Einblicke in die neuesten Entwicklungen in diesen faszinierenden Forschungsgebieten zu erhalten.
- Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, werden Vorträge von führenden Experten der Branche gehalten, die „beide Seiten der Medaille“ präsentieren.
- Plenar- und Grundsatzvorträge sowie Diskussionsrunden und Posterpräsentationen geben einen Überblick über sorgfältig ausgewählte "heiße Themen", darunter Vitamin D, Hautkrebsprävention, Risiken und Vorteile von Sonnenschutzmitteln, UVA-Strahlung und zelluläre Homöostase, Photokarzinogenese, circadiane Uhr, und was uns genomweite Assoziationsstudien über Sonnenexposition und Melanom-Ätiologie sagen.
- Sie sind herzlich eingeladen, an diesem Treffen teilzunehmen.
