Andrzej T. Slominski, MD, PhD, is a dermatopatholigist and world-expert on the influence of light on biology. Over the last 30+ years, he has focused on the regulation of the neuro-endocrine-immune axis by light on the skin and through the eyes. Andrzej has contributed substantially to our understanding of how light signals are transduced in the body and what effects they have on global homeostasis. His recent focus is on neuroendocrinology of the skin, cancer, photobiology, pigment biology, cutaneous steroidogenesis, vitamin D and melatonin.
Andrzej has been working carefully to undo the dogmatic and simplistic ideas about sun exposure that prevail in culture today. His work reintroduces nuance and logic to the discussion of sunlight’s role in disease prevention and health. His work has and continues to be incredibly influential in our understanding how light and life interact.
