Stefan Andersson-Engels is a leading scientist in the field of biophotonics. He is professor at University College Cork and the deputy director of the Irish Photonics Integration Center (IPIC) within the Science Foundation Ireland. Before joining University College Cork, he was Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Lund University. He has co-founded 3 biophotonics companies Spectracure [1], Lumito [2], BioPixS [3]. He also co-founded biannual biophotonics summer school [4].
Andersson-Engels is actively engaged in Translational medicine, by working closely with clinicians and patients to explore and validate possible clinical application of biophotonics tools. He is considered a pioneer in biophotonics for his continuous development of advanced technologies like Photodynamic therapy, time domain diffuse optical spectroscopy, Upconverting nanoparticles for multi-modal and diffuse optical imaging. He won Erna Eblings Prize for the use of laser spectroscopy for the diagnosis of pathological tissue conditions and his development of methods for the treatment of skin tumors with photodynamic therapy[5].
