Current research
Primary research is focused on investigating light interaction with skin. Have basic science knowledge of how Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) on skin causes skin erythema and skin cancer, but also the production of vitamin D and melanin in the skin. Investigated personal solar UVR exposure among both the European and Danish population and how to protect against erythema and skin cancer. Have been using light to measure both immediately and chronical skin changes after UVR exposure, and how these changes are related to skin cancer risk. Have detected skin cancer non-invasively by using light based Spectroscopic investigations, like Raman Spectroscopy and Fluorescence. Have been working on optimizing Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) for many years.
