Abstract
The ESF-EMBO Symposium Spatio-Temporal Radiation Biology: Transdisciplinary Advances for Biomedical Applications, 16–21 May 2009 was held in Sant Feliu de Guixols, 120 km from Barcelona, the capital city of Catalunya, Spanish Costa Brava. This 4-day conference created a timely forum for multidisciplinary discussions of recent researches on ionizing radiation effects in living organisms, from molecular to tissue scales. The symposium brought together 95 participants from 21 countries worldwide, such as physicists, chemists, biologists, clinicians and private companies with a common interest in using advanced radiation sources and techniques to explore modern radiation biology concepts and related biomedical applications. Spatio-temporal radiation biology represents an emerging research domain driven in strong synergy with recent radiation source developments, evolving over several orders of magnitude from femtosecond and submicrometric scales. The conference was structured from seven transdisciplinary sessions, 45 posters and one forward look plenary discussion, taking advantage of the high research quality and technological environment in a European and international context. In the framework of experimental and theoretical developments, we report below some innovative aspects of spatio-temporal radiation biology that were presented during the symposium.

Two models, including the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and DT40 chicken B-lymphocytic cells, show how the DNA Damage Response (DDR) is crucial for each cell and allow the dissection of the involvement of each protein that participates in similar functions in such distant species
